Synopsis

Book 8 of the Multi-Award-Winning Return to the Galaxy series Humanity is finally in the war. For the first time, Earth forces face the Ranid directly… and the outcome changes everything Admiral Ewan Scott is pushing beyond known space, chasing an alliance that could decide the conflict before humanity is overwhelmed. But every day he spends away from Earth is a gamble. Because back home, power is shifting fast. Decisions are being made behind closed doors. Freedom is being traded for promises of survival. And the price of security is starting to look dangerously high. Humanity is dividing before the enemy has even arrived. At Trove, unfinished fleets and experimental weapons are being pushed into combat before they’re ready, while Velal drives deeper into enemy territory after a devastating victory that may have cost more than anyone yet understands. The war has truly begun. And humanity may not survive its opening moves. If you love Jasper T. Scott’s alien wars, Craig Martelle’s massive space fleets, or Scott Bartlett’s relentless military action, Battle for the Galaxy delivers an epic space opera packed with danger, sacrifice, and galaxy-shaking battles. Grab Battle for the Galaxy today and discover why readers are calling Return to the Galaxy one of the breakout military sci-fi series of the year.
