Alien tech discovered on Mars. The race to claim it could spark a new kind of War.

When a derelict alien starship appears in the solar system and crash-lands on Mars, it ignites a desperate race to be the first to reach the Red Planet to claim the mysterious technological treasures of the Visitor.

Space Force General Tom Bradstreet, ace Air Force fighter pilot and the only active-duty officer with actual space combat experience, is given control of the Morrigan, the first manned mission to Mars—and the first space warship.

He and his elite team know their mission. In fact, it should be simple. The U.S. is the only nation with a spaceship capable of making it to Mars.

Or so they think…

Maverick Russian General Mikhail Antonov has been handed the insane, desperate gamble of building an Orion-style spaceship powered by nuclear warheads. Launching it from the heart of Russia could be the spark that lights a path to nuclear war but it’s the only way the Russians and Chinese can hope to reach Mars before the Americans.

The scene is set for a devastating world war, and the first shots may be fired on another world…

Don’t miss the next action-packed, gritty military sci-fi series from Rick Partlow, the bestselling author of the Drop Trooper Series and Taken to the Stars.

Charlie Travers didn’t ask to be the leader of a rebellion…but no one else wanted the job.

Now that he’s gathered an army and armed them with the deadliest starfighter ever made, the legendary Vanguards, he just needs one more thing: someone who knows how to fly the things.

Unfortunately, no one has been behind the stick of a Vanguard in hundreds of years, since the end of the war that threw the galaxy into chaos. Their only hope lays in the legends of a crashed ship, a fighter crew frozen in stasis for centuries.

A crew of pilots from the ruthless Kamerian Alliance, the fearsome ravagers who once sought to rule the galaxy. Even if they’re willing to help, can they be trusted?

Charlie’s going to have to find out. Because it’s not just the Anguilar Empire that’s after him. The bounty hunter Seraph Nix is still out there, seeking revenge for the death of her crew.

And Seraph Nix always gets her man.
