Tymczasem w przestrzeni kosmicznej pojawia sie nowy gracz, który zachwieje ukladem sil - ale Ziemianie tez maja w zanadrzu niejedna niespodzianke.

Inwazja obcych na Ziemie skapala miasta w ogniu i krwi. Niektórzy ludzie w panice rzucili sie do ucieczki, inni chwycili za bron, aby stawic czola Drasinom. "Odyseja" wypelnila swoja ostatnia misje - w atmosferze rodzimej planety siala zniszczenie wsród ladujacych dronów. I rozbila sie na Manhattanie. Dla kapitana Westona nie byl to jednak koniec zmagan. Tylko on walczyl z Drasinami w kosmosie. Tylko on tak dobrze znal wroga.

Okret badawczy "Odyseja" powrócil z dziewiczej podrózy. Powrócil, wiozac zle nowiny oraz ambasadorów - przedstawicieli innej, chodz ludzkiej, cywilizacji kosmicznej, uwiklanej w krwawa wojne z okrutnymi obcymi. Ziemianie musza podjac decyzje, czy angazowac sie w walke, podejmowac ryzyko, czy tez schowac glowe w piasek i udawac, ze odlegly konflikt nie dotyczy Ukladu Slonecznego.

Korzystajac z najnowszej technologii, umozliwiajacej podróze miedzygwiezdne, okret badawczy "Odyseja" wyrusza w dziewiczy rejs. Lecz kosmos nie jest tak pusty, jak moze sie wydawac z perspektywy naszej planety. "Odyseja" trafia prosto w srodek konfliktu miedzy dwoma rasami. Zaloga okretu staje w obliczu smiertelnie groznego, bardzo poteznego i znakomicie wyposazonego przeciwnika. Dysponuje o wiele mniej zaawansowana technologia, lecz musi sobie radzic za pomoca tego, co posiada. Ale czy podola wyzwaniu? I jakie beda konsekwencje poczynan Ziemian? Czy odwaga, poswiecenie i ludzka inteligencja sa w stanie zniwelowac dystans cywilizacyjny?

W piatej czesci opowiesci o zmaganiach ludzkosci z potezna prastara cywilizacja pewne sprawy zostaja wyjasnione, ale nowe wydarzenia przynosza równiez wiele pytan. Ludzie wciaz musza walczyc - zmagac sie ze smiertelnym zagrozeniem w bezlitosnej pustce kosmosu, na obcych globach, nie rozumiejac do konca sposobu rozumowania wroga, nie majac pojecia o jego rzeczywistych zamiarach.

Migliaia di anni fa, il programma di terraformazione della Terra si è esteso verso le stelle, e su un mondo chiamato Nod gli scienziati hanno scoperto una forma di vita aliena. Tuttavia la loro missione prevedeva che la cancellassero, sovrascrivendo su di essa la memoria del loro mondo. Poi però il grande impero della Terra è caduto e le decisioni relative al programma si sono perse nelle pieghe del tempo. Eoni più tardi, gli esseri umani e i loro nuovi alleati - i ragni noti come Portiadi - intercettano frammentari segnali radio fra le stelle e inviano una nave esplorativa.

Humanity has reached an uneasy truce with the Empire—but unless the allies bring the fight to the enemy, extinction is all but assured. In preparation for the inevitable next war, Commander Stephen Michaels is at the helm of the Archangel Squadron, and his orders are simple: go rogue. Disguised as mercenaries, Commander Michaels and the Archangels seek valuable intelligence on their imposing foe. Their mission takes them deep into uncharted territory, where they make inroads with the Empire, fiercely guarding their true identities and purpose.

Michael Wallace presents the first book in his Alliance Trilogy.

At the helm of a commandeered freighter, Captain Steph Michaels has infiltrated the Free Star systems. Leading a captive crew, and posing as a privateer, he's on a mission to seize a precious resource from an enemy outpost. Backed by his Archangel Squadron, it's a smash-and-grab operation he can pull off in his sleep. Until it isn't.

Defeated in battle, the fractious alliance of Goltar, Spine Patriots, and the Midnight Sun Free Company are chased across the Spine Nebula by the Endless Night and their sea-monster allies, the Tyzhounes. Abandoning the nebula is not an option. For the free trader skipper, Lenworth Jenkins, the people of its 15 tormented worlds are the cause he’s been searching for all his life.

Something went wrong in the Mars Felicity Station. A gate to another reality was opened, and a mysterious alien plague threatens humanity. When communications with the station are cut, the Perihelion crew is sent to find out what happened. Outmatched and unprepared, they’re forced to make war on this new enemy and rescue what remains of the survivors.

An AI overseer and a human crew arrive on a distant planet to salvage an ancient UN starship. The overseer is unhappy. The crew, well, they're certainly no A-team. Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty.

Captain Markus "Spartan" Nicolos is one of the Golden Horde’s premier hackers and communication specialists, and a top-tier CASPer pilot. His experimental Hoplite scout CASPer aided significantly in thwarting an attempt by a Besquith general to wipe out the Golden Horde. Now, while most of the Golden Horde goes out on a major contract, Spartan has been given a small team of less than 30 mercenaries - all specialists - to teach a race that has just joined the Galactic Union how to defend itself. And, in his spare time, Spartan is to spy on the Merchant Guild.

When Simon and Katherine Hawke stumble upon an alien shuttle that has landed on earth, it’ll not only change the course of their lives, but of the entire world. Taking the shuttle into orbit, they discover a much larger ship left adrift with no one on board. Commandeering it, they confirm that we’re not alone in the universe and must prepare the human race for what is about to come. Recruiting from all over the world, they begin to expand their fleet and build a federation to give humans a foothold in the galaxy.

After the vicious attacks on Victoria Bravo, Commander Tara Mason and the newly formed Force 25 have no time to refit and reconstitute their depleted forces. Deputized by the Peacemaker Guild and charged with a time-sensitive mission - finding James “Snowman” Francis - Tara and her mercenaries deploy to the wintry world of Snowmass to follow a 50-year-old lead on Snowman’s disappearance. Snowmass, though, is far from peaceful.

The future looked bright as they both happily settled into college life, working part-time at the Pentagon on top secret projects worthy of one’s wildest imagination. All seemed well until a mysterious signal beckoned from the other side of the planet. Compelled to investigate, the United States government once again calls upon Emma and Logan to help solve the mystery. Only this time they’ll find themselves investigating a secret hidden in mythologies not just around the globe but across the galaxy, on a collision course with a dangerous destiny neither were prepared for, Emma’s.

Thousands of crew are reported dead, including the ship’s captain. Reluctantly, the young XO, Galvin Quintos, will be taking command of the fleet's crippled dreadnaught, the USS Hamilton, while doing his best to bring fleet survivors back to Earth. To make matters worse, there’s a murderer running loose on board the ship, critically low fuel levels, and the Grish are back, in fast pursuit and ready to finish what they’d started. Only by sheer luck - and a good measure of cagey smarts - will Quintos be able to rise to the challenge.
