Publisher Description

An ancient holocaust holds the key to humanity's survival.

Only a sliver of mankind survived the Xaros invasion. With Earth's defenses in ashes, nothing can stop the aliens' inevitable return.

Hope arrives from a cryptic message from a long-lost alien race, promising the means to rebuild the shattered space fleet.

Captain Valdar takes one of the last strike carriers, the Breitenfeld, and his shell-shocked crew on a desperate mission to the dead world.

Unfortunately, humans aren't the only power that received the ancient message.

THE RUINS OF ANTHALAS is the second book in THE EMBER WAR SAGA, a military sci-fi space opera.

If you like David Weber and John Ringo with a touch of Isaac Asimov, then you’ll love this fast-paced and captivating adventure where humanity survives at the edge of a knife.
