The Thunder of Vengeance — Dietmar Arthur Wehr

The Thunder of Vengeance concludes the Thunder in the Heavens series. If you'd like to read this book in Kindle Unlimited, you'll find it in my Galactic Visions of Military SF & Space Opera Vol. 2

The war with the Tyrell has entered a lull as both sides ponder the results of the battle at Omega2. The Tyrell are now building their own carriers and humans are about to deploy their new stinger concept but the path to victory will not be easy for either side. Humans and their Alliance allies cannot afford another catastrophic battle and the Tyrell are only just beginning to realize what kind of opposition they are now facing. A series of battles will bring both sides together in one final, massive battle that will decide the war. Can Cate Harrow and Gort Eagleton survive and avoid disaster?

This ebook also contains the first novella in a new series (Tales of the High Avenging Angel)

Excerpt:
LeClair was just about to give the order to deploy the RD2s into their pre-jump positions when the tactical display double-pinged and the icons representing Bismarck Sea and Valley Forge suddenly began flashing to denote damage of some kind. Before he could say anything, Waterloo's icon started flashing too.

“What the hell is happening?” snarled LeClair.

“Admiral, Waterloo has multiple hull breaches and the number is continuing to grow!”

LeClair recognized the voice of Waterloo's C.O.

“Valley Forge reports they're under attack, Admiral!” shouted the com technician.

“But from where dammit?” yelled LeClair.

“We have to jump away, Admiral!” Waterloo's C.O.'s voice was on the ragged edge of panic.

“NO!” shouted CAG. “The squadrons don't have a rally point! If we jump away now, they'll never find us again!”

“And if we stay long enough to give them a rally point, we might not be able to jump away at all!” said the C.O.

The CAG started to say something, but LeClair cut him off. “We jump right now! Fleet Commander to all units, emergency jump NOW. I repeat NOW!”
