About this ebook
Startling Innovations.
Cool Space Ships.
Evil Alien Butt Blasted to Smithereens!
Outpost Attack!
Gateway HD 36951 lies in ruins. All survivors slaughtered. A single, truncated message sent back to Earth. Something very bad indeed is afoot, and the A.S.S. Vorpal Blade (reanuclear submarine converted to warp-drive space ship) is sent to investigate. But the ferocious, voracious enemy Dreen wait for no man (or other carbon-based lifeform), and the Blade and her crew are soon the only hope for an alien species pushed to the brink of extinction. Turn back and abandon a new ally or face a heavily-armed Dreen destroyer head on.
For the Blade's rough-and-ready crew, it's no contest. And now, with an infusion of technical know-how from humanity's new ally, chaos itself has become a weapon!
New York Times and USA Today multiple best-seller John Ringo
joins with NASA and DOD consultant
Travis S. Taylor ¾ author of Warp Speed and The Quantum Connection
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo."
¾Philadelphia Weekly Press on New York Times multiple best-seller John Ringo.
"[T]his thoroughly enjoyable ride should appeal to techno-thriller fans as well as to military SF buffs."
¾Publishers Weekly on John Ringo and Travis S. Taylor's Into the Looking Glass.
