Then: First Lieutenant Sean Elliott and nine other mixed-service US soldiers on a convoy in Afghanistan suddenly found themselves and their MRAP vehicle thrown back to Earth’s Paleolithic Age. And they were not alone. Displaced Romans, Neolithic Europeans, and more showed up as well. Some would be allies. Some became deadly foes. Now: Scientists from an almost unimaginably far future need the survivors’ advice and support to reconnoiter and ultimately recover other groups displaced in time.

The human powers have been pushed to the brink, battered, and almost destroyed. The virus they have invented and deployed, their sole possibility for victory, seems to be too little, too late. Its usage has only spurred the enemy to quicker action, to finish the war before they have to deal with its effects. But the humans do not know that the Highborn are faced on another front, by a race they know little about but have battled for two centuries.

Innerhalb des Gefängnisses, zusammengepfercht mit Hunderten anderer Zivilisationen, stehen die Zeichen auf Sturm.

Das Geheimnis zur Herrschaft über die Galaxie ist auf einem weit entfernten Planeten versteckt, und interplanetare Mächte würden alles tun, um es zu entschlüsseln. Der zweite Band, nach Zerbrochene Leere, der epischen Space Opera im Universum des beliebten Brettspiels Twilight Imperium. Bianca Xing hat ihr Leben auf einem Provinzplaneten damit verbracht, davon zu träumen, die Sterne zu bereisen.

Ben Curtis hat sich gegen den erneuten Aufstieg in einer Flotte entschieden. Seine neuen Freunde haben Priorität. Die Menschen in dieser Galaxie müssen ihre Kriege ohne seine Hilfe unter sich ausfechten. Zu Bens Freude hat Admiral Bolt Wort gehalten, und ihn mit seinen Kameraden als einfache Matrosen auf das Schlachtschiff KF Juggernaut kommandiert. Auch Kadettin Thakis wurde an Bord versetzt. Ihre kleine Flotte patrouilliert entlang der Außengrenzen der Konföderation. Weit entfernt vom Kriegsgeschehen. Hier hätten sie ihre Ruhe haben sollen.

Das Irdische Konkordat ist ein Sternenstaat voller Frieden und Wohlstand. Allein eine kleine Polizeistreitmacht sorgt dafür, dass interstellare Verbrechen nicht ungesühnt bleiben.

Das Schiff befindet sich in den Fängen eines Schwarzen Loches. Nach einer missglückten Rettungsaktion ist Ben auf sich alleine gestellt.

The war between Almacia and the Empire of Kolakolvia is in its hundredth year. Casualties grow on both sides as the conflict leaves no corner of the world untouched. Illarion Glaskov’s quiet life on the fringes of the empire is thrown into chaos when an impossible tragedy strikes his village. When he is conscripted into the Tsarist military, he is sent to serve in The Wall - an elite regiment that pilots suits of armor made from the husks of dead golems.

Robert Franklin will stop at nothing to avenge the wrongs done to him by the US and Russia. Nate Stout and Broken Arrow Mercenary Force will do anything they have to do to stop him.

When an elite Dark Ops legionnaire dies under suspicious circumstances, his former teammates suspect foul play. Favors are called in and the notorious bounty hunter Tyrus Rechs is asked to find out what really happened. When Rechs uncovers a sinister plot that is much bigger than a simple murder, he’s pitted against a powerful, hidden, and protected form of corruption.

Captured by a man who was once the closest friend of Nate's Prime, from whom he was cloned decades ago, Nate is alive because Robert Franklin needs something from him, something he can use to topple governments and take control of a world gone mad. Once he has it, Nate may be expendable.

A new killer is cutting a bloody swath through the frontier worlds. Rumors of its exploits are spreading and, like a ghost, nobody even knows what it looks like. Captain Jason Burke and his crew watch this growing menace with a mix of unease...and guilt. They know who this killer is. He used to be one of them.

As the slow machine of war starts to turn, allies and enemies alike move their pieces in a bid for victory. Territories are claimed and lost. Skirmishes in deep space determine ownership of the jump lanes that crisscross the galaxy. As Barton battles his way through selection for the Special Operations Group, his old friends from Odin Nine-Five are outside the wire, protecting a politician.

The Hive is gone, but the queen’s effect on the world lingers. As the people of Tranquility rebuild, those touched by the alien creature struggle to come to grips with what was done to them and the pain they’d caused to their friends and family. Joel Lander is no stranger to their hardships, but with a new threat looming, they have precious little time to lose. The fight for Tranquility is not over.

Humanity is on the ropes. Despite military victories, the sheer grinding power of the alien virus is taking its toll. The space navies are pushed to the limit, the colony worlds are fighting a desperate war against the infected, the economy is on the brink of utter collapse and Earth herself has come under attack. But there is one ray of hope. If a small force can penetrate to the heart of the alien empire and tear it apart, it might just win humanity enough time to save itself and win the war once and for all.

A simple distress beacon.... A mining colony in the outer reaches.... Supposedly another routine deployment for Mike Barton of the Combined States Marine Corps, but what they find on the surface is unlike anything anyone had ever encountered. Horribly wounded in a battle with an unknown quantity, Barton only survives through a chance encounter with two special operators. As if the skirmish wasn’t enough, what comes next will be beyond his imagination.

Cloned from the genes of heroes past, tossed aside when the Army abandoned the program, Nate has seized his own destiny. Forming the Broken Arrow Mercenary Force, he leads a team of hired guns piloting cutting-edge mechs in a last-ditch effort to restore a United States he never knew. America is under siege by the Russians and Chinese, its major cities devastated by nuclear terrorism. The Army has retreated, the politicians have abandoned the east coast, and the only thing standing in the way of total devastation is a handful of mercenaries.

HMS Lion and HMS Unicorn have made it home from their first mission against the alien virus, opening the way for humanity to take the offensive. Now, a major fleet is readying itself to depart into enemy space, intent on smashing the virus’ ability to wage war and destroy the threat once and for all. And Captains Hammond and Campbell will take the lead. But humanity itself is buckling under the strain of endless war.

The war isn’t going well. In five years of heavy fighting, humanity and its alien allies have steadily been pushed back toward Earth, toward the very heart of humanity itself. The virus is steadily wearing the defences down, mounting campaign after campaign to infect and enslave every other alien race. The only hope rests with newer and better weapons, with technology that may turn the tide, but can the weapons and starships be deployed in time?
