Void Recon: Omega Taskforce, #2

By G J Ogden

The shocking truths revealed by the Emissaries of the Sa'Nerra continue to send tremors through the ranks of the Fleet and United Governments. Then an unprecedented strike at the heart of Fleet's most important front-line command outpost only strengthens the resolve of the War Council to sue for peace.

 

But peace is impossible. Against the Sa'Nerra there is only victory or death.

 

With the Omega Taskforce fractured and its secrets on the verge of being revealed, the resolve of Captain Lucas Sterling remains unbroken. Under the command of Fleet Admiral Griffin, Sterling must take the Invictus deep into the Sa'Nerran half of the Void, in search of the alien super-weapon that goes by the name of Titan.

 

But there is also a new hope. Believed dead for a decade, Sterling must scour the Void for the one scientist who can unravel the mystery of the alien neural control technology. Yet even if Sterling can find him, there are no guarantees this man will help.

Alone in the Void and surrounded by the enemy and the remnants of human civilization that the United Governments abandoned to their fates, Sterling has only his advanced ship and talented crew to rely on.

 

Dangers lurk in every star system and at every spaceport. Yet Sterling and his crew are uniquely suited to the mission. Liberated from the shackles of Fleet moralities, Sterling is every bit as cold-hearted and ruthless as the enemies that seek to destroy him.

This will be the sternest test of the Omega Taskforce yet. And it is a test that Captain Lucas Sterling does not intend to fail.

_

Omega Taskforce is a fast-paced military space opera for fans of Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek Section 31 that grips you from the first word and never lets go. If you enjoy ruthless alien warriors, running gun battles, devastating space combat, mystery, and epic twists, you'll love it.

G J Ogden

At school I was asked to write down the jobs I wanted to do as a ‘grown up’. Number one was astronaut and number two was a PC games journalist. I only managed to achieve one of those goals (I’ll let you guess which), but these two very different career options still neatly sum up my lifelong interests in science, space and the unknown, and computer technology. School also steered me in the direction of a science-focused education over literature and writing, which strongly influenced my decision to study Physics at UMIST, now part of Manchester University. What this degree taught me is that I didn’t like studying Physics and instead enjoyed writing much more, which led me to become editor of the University magazine, GRIP. This was the stepping stone into the first of my careers in IT journalism. The lesson? School can’t tell you who you are, or what you want to be! During my professional career, I spent seven years as a technology journalist, including creating and launching Custom PC magazine for Dennis Publishing, the most successful enthusiast PC magazine in the UK. I then moved into PR and marketing for world-leading technology brands. But, my passion for Sci-Fi and writing only grew stronger and more than twenty years after choosing to study Physics instead of writing, I came full circle and now write and independently publish science fiction novels. When not writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking in the British countryside, and indulging in as much Sci-Fi as possible.
