Five short novels by five masters of military science fiction. It’s a war out there.

Never-before-published stories about monsters, deadly combat tech, treachery, and honor.

Beyond the din and dancing lights of the Las Vegas strip, a young woman has mysteriously gone missing. All the facts point to something sinister - even paranormal. Quentin Draith, supernatural crime investigator, is hired to assist. However, the deeper Draith digs, the more otherworldly his assignment gets. Assassins, human and otherwise, put a target on Draith’s head and a ravenous alien beast starts rampaging through the city. The clues point Draith to Sin City’s infamous “Bone Triangle,” a neighborhood marked for its dark happenings and disappearances.

When Quentin Draith wakes up in a private sanatorium, he has no memory of who he is or how he received the injuries riddling his body. All he knows is that he has to get out, away from the drugs being pumped into him and back to the real world to search for answers. His first question: How did his friend Tony’s internal organs fill with sand, killing him in a Las Vegas car crash? After a narrow escape, he tracks down the basic facts: He is an investigator and blogger specializing in the supernatural - which is a good thing, because Quentin’s life is getting stranger by the minute.

He and his crew are faced with a choice: Will they fight the invaders, or will they run?

W kierunku Ziemi pędzi sztuczny obiekt wykonany ze skompresowanego pyłu gwiezdnego. Czy to okręt najeźdźców? Narzędzie zagłady? Może to zemsta Squanto – rigeliańskiego przywódcy wielokrotnie upokorzonego przez McGilla? Czy może Mogwa chcieli w ten sposób ukarać Ziemię za zamordowanie przez McGilla imperialnego gubernatora Rubieży 921? Nikt nie ma pojęcia, skąd pochodzi ten obiekt. Wiadomo tylko tyle, że jest gigantyczny i niepowstrzymany. Nie reaguje na próby kontaktu. Nie ima się go żadna broń. A ludzi ogarnia panika, gdy dociera do nich, że już za kilka godzin ich planeta może ulec zniszczeniu.
