Synopsis
What’s worse than deranged godlike aliens? A vampiric deranged godlike alien! When Jim and his friends succeed in killing the Aax’ods by opening a portal to the Crimson Universe, he figures they’ll have peace and quiet for a while. But boy, is he wrong! One day, out of nowhere and all across the galaxy, thousands of portals are open to the monster world, and trillions of beasts pour out. So many that they simply wash over the Federation’s forces, and that’s before they start to multiply exponentially. How can Jim stop this new, unimaginable threat? Or can he? Pick up Leviathan, the final installment in Starships in the Abyss series, and find out for yourself! Note from the author: This is a dark and gritty reboot of the humorous Crimson Deathbringer series. Please see “From the Author” for more information. If you’ve read and enjoyed the original series, I don’t think you should read this; you’ll probably hate it. On the other hand, if you read The Crimson Deathbringer and liked the story but not the comedy, maybe give this version a chance.
