Description
The "Space Navy" series is a blend of space opera with a heavy dose of military science fiction and horror. A sci-fi thriller series which has been described as "Star Trek meets Full Metal Jacket".
Josiah Trenchard is a no-nonsense, foul mouthed, alcohol-fuelled action hero. He's one of the roughest, toughest troopers in the fleet; a soldier of distinct morals and a renowned lack of tact, who's less "space marine" and more Sean Bean's "Richard Sharpe".
Trenchard's been fighting hard in the bloody war that's been raging between the United Worlds and the insurgents, ever since the uprising on Mars, soon after colonization. The insurgents wage a guerrilla war of I.E.D. ambush, assassination and terror attacks. The navy troops live, fight and die by their motto: "Honour, strength and unity!"
Trenchard was almost killed during that first great battle; scarred both physically and emotionally. He lost friends and comrades and was given a scar by an unknown assailant, a woman he's searched for ever since. Now, he's fighting the increasingly desperate insurgents once more when he's unexpectedly re-assigned to an untested, prototype vessel and thrown into a series of deadly adventures that will test his mettle to breaking point.
The Wolverine class vessel, the "Might of Fortitude", has been designed to be the deadliest hunter-killer star-ship in the fleet. The cramped, submarine-like spacecraft is about to be launched on her maiden voyage. While hunting bloodthirsty pirates who have unleashed a reign of terror throughout the asteroid belt, Trenchard struggles to cope with a woefully inexperienced crew of misfits and reprobates and puts his life on the line to save his ship, his crew, and the honour of the Space Navy.
After insurgent terrorists kill thousands of innocent people on Earth, angered by the heavy-handed empire building of the United Worlds, Trenchard's next mission is to protect a facility which is vital to the war effort and owned by one of the biggest corporations in the United Worlds. Heavily armed pirates are also racing to be the first to occupy that space station, intent on stealing a dark military secret, hidden within. During the ensuing battle, a terrible "something" wakens from its cryogenic slumber. With impregnable armour, the "Morgenstern" carves an indiscriminate wake of horror, death and destruction throughout the space station.
A dark conspiracy begins to unfold as Trenchard hunts down the elusive assassin who scarred him on Mars and he begins to uncover the hidden motives of the sinister "Papaver Corporation". What is the mystery surrounding the leader of the pirates? Who are the elusive "Society" and how far does their power reach?
Can Trenchard save the day? Will he ever get a quiet glass of rum and a smoke? Snap on your armour, grab your trusty "Vicar" rifle and board the Might of Fortitude to find out.
Join the fight today!
