    About this series

    Revolution in the outer fringes of the vast Solar Empire blossomed into a full collapse toward its inner core, leaving the scattered fringes isolated and disorganized. A powerful new rival to the old empire's ancient glory eventually arose from those ashes, a fringe empire growing far beyond the first few local star systems to crush all challengers in a series of brutal campaigns. Now the New Empire launches yet another campaign, and this one will take it deeper than ever into the old empire's former realm. Its target is the small Hellsbridge Sub-Federation Tri-System, but when the assault begins with a force that should have been overwhelming, the initial results are at first disappointing, and then disastrous. As reinforcements are fed into the battle, it quickly becomes a clash of interstellar empires, involving far more than Hellsbridge. A door has been opened into the deep unknown, and something is coming.

      After a series of fierce battles with a lone, anonymous, and seemingly invincible ship dubbed "The Intruder," the Core Empire cobbles together a new fleet from the remaining survivors and surges out to reclaim the "Outworld" possessions it had lost in the conflict. Under FleetCommander Bretna Rathskald, on a mission of both vengeance and conquest, the fleet strikes at the first and most important target on its agenda, seeking to destroy the renegade fleet of FleetCommander Paulu Guideran along with the artifact site that might summon yet another disaster. The outcome of the vicious skirmishes that follow seems to be a forgone conclusion, until the Overlord of the Core Empire ultimately must stand for judgment, and by a most unexpected person.

    Author

    Ken Doggett

    Science Fiction author Ken Doggett has been writing for many years, beginning with short stories published in prominent and not-so-prominent Science Fiction magazines: Space & Time and Shayol, among others. Now, like many modern writers, he has chosen to directly publish his novels and short-story collections.  He was born in Atlanta in 1945, grew up in next-door DeKalb County, and developed a love for reading right after he discovered the school library. He read almost everything, but was especially fascinated by the fantastic tales of spaceships, space exploration, and conflict among the stars. He soon became familiar with the writers who would influence his own work: Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, John W. Campbell, and later, Larry Niven and Harlan Ellison. He graduated from Avondale High School just outside Atlanta, and after a stint in the U.S. Army assigned as a radio mechanic to the 2nd Armored Division at Ft. Hood, Texas, he worked in the field of electronics and electronic technology. After many years of reading all of those great Science Fiction stories, he decided, "I can do that," and wrote some of his own. In July 1981 he sold his first published story, Timestopper, to Amazing Stories. Eventually, with more of his stories reaching publication, he became a veteran writer in the Science Fiction genre.  But he has done more in the arts than write a few stories. He once thought he could draw and paint pictures, and he created and sold a few landscape paintings, both oil and acrylic. You can view some of these on his website. He currently lives in a rural farming community in Morgan County, Georgia, where he writes full time.
