Humanity fights back against a devastating Trojan-horse-like alien invasion of Earth and takes the fight to the stars by creating a vast battlestation as large as a planet.</b> <p/>The third entry in the best-selling Troy Rising saga and follow-up to blockbuster <i>Citadel</i> from multiple <i>New York Times </i>and <i>USA Today</i> bestseller and military SF master, John Ringo. <p/>When the orbital gates first materialized in the outer Solar System, all seemed well, but a devastating invasion ensued. Now humans have battled back from the conquest by a tyrannical alien species to become a force to reckon with in the galaxy. On a crash-building course, humanity has created a near-impregnable battlestation of Deathstar proportions to prove it. But the enemy is remorseless and to survive humans must take the fight to the heart of their empire and prevail-a feat no previous species has ever accomplished. Instead, the bones and burnt hulks of those who have tried litter the star-ways. But these galactic imperialists have never contended with humans, a foe who is their match in sheer ferocity and desire to win. <p/><b>About the Troy Rising series: </b><br>"[I]nfused with plenty of old-fashioned two-fisted can-do attitude . . ." -<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"[I]rresistible action-sf . . .[filled with] Ringo's amazingly fertile imagination." -<i>Booklist</i><br><b> </b><br><b>About John Ringo: </b><br>"[O]ne of the best...practitioners. . .of military SF." -<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>[F]ast-paced military SF peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse -<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"[Ringo's work] "attains a terrible beauty not unlike that of the Norse Eddas..." -<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo." -<i>Philadelphia Weekly Press</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Ringo</b> brings fighting to life.
