Description
Man's outer colonies are being destroyed one by one. Suspecting an old enemy, Captain Henry Kuttner, of the Solar Navy rail-gun ship the Onslaught, wants to investigate.
There's just one problem. The Onslaught is scheduled to be decommissioned, and Captain Kuttner given mandatory retirement. But this old war dog isn't going down without a fight.
Going against orders, Kuttner leads his crew in search of answers--and straight into the territory of mankind's former enemies, the reptilian Draconi, whose colonies are also being destroyed, and they blame man.
Now the Onslaught's crew must risk all-out war to solve a cosmic mystery before people die. Only the ship's maverick second in command and a disgraced Draconi scientist can unravel the secret of this deadly enemy before it's too late.
But there are certain factions who want the human-Draconi war to begin anew, and they'll do anything to make it happen.
And meanwhile, in the outer dark, an ancient enemy returns. An enemy known only in the songs of a long-dead alien race. An enemy that leaves chaos in its wake.
A maverick first officer, a misfit crew and an aging vessel are all that stand between humanity and total destruction.
If you like Peter F. Hamilton, David Weber, or Chris Fox's Void Wraith series, you'll love Star Swarm, the first volume in an exciting new space opera trilogy.
"Classic military science fiction in the vein of David Weber, with conspiracies and ancient threats throughout. I want the next book now." --Joseph Cadotte, author of In the Land of Nod
