Publisher's Synopsis
The galaxy is coming apart. Even after the devastating events in the Meccrace system, the personal and professional losses felt by operative Elm Caden are nothing compared to the threat now looming over humanity.
All across the many worlds entire colonies have fallen silent. The rumours speak of a phenomenon called The Falling, and mighty, mysterious ships now travel Imperial Combine space with impunity.
After such serious losses at Meccrace, Caden must rally new allies in his quest to uncover the truth about the mysterious enemy force he has named 'Voice'. But Voice's plans are already well underway, and not just on the many worlds of the Imperial Combine.
While fleets engage each other furiously, armies clash, and planets are invaded, Elm Caden will begin to discover that the powers arrayed against humanity are like nothing he has encountered before...
Advisory: this is the third novel in a series.
After the unexpected and heart-wrenching climax of List of the Dead, this third volume in R. Curtis Venture's breakout series has a lot to live up to. In this episode perspectives are shifted, secrets revealed, and characters challenged, in the same emotionally vivid fashion that has defined this uniquely engaging series since the beginning. With its signature realism and heart-pounding action sequences, The Ravening Deep takes the characters established in the first two books and throws them head-first into a war which could devastate humanity.
Armada Wars is a collection of military science fiction books with a space opera feel. Fans of the series love the suspense and intrigue of espionage and cosmic mystery, punctuated by the chaos and mayhem of conflict. From orbital invasions to fleet warfare, inevitable personal showdowns, and the build-up to an apocalyptic collision of mighty fleets, Armada Wars has it all covered.
The Great War of the Shaeld is told across five novels, with each volume upping the stakes and introducing consequences for the seemingly minor events of previous books. The series is saturated with creeping fear, and every new discovery leads the protagonists towards a final confrontation for which they cannot possibly prepare:
- Steal from the Devil
- List of the Dead
- The Ravening Deep
- From Shattered Stars
- Whom Gods Shall Fear (coming late 2023)
The main story arc is expanded by these optional episodes:
- I Dream of Damastion (novella)
- A Storm to the Savage (short novel)
