Description
The Xaros crush every civilization they meet -- until humanity sparks the fight against extinction.
An alien swarm of merciless drones, the Xaros, are on the brink of annihilating Earth and humanity. Just as they've done to countless worlds before. Leading humanity's defiance, Captain Isaac Valdar commands the Breitenfeld, a war-scarred ship, his will unyielding against the onslaught. Alongside him, Lieutenant Ken Hale and his Strike Marines, forged in the fires of battle will take the fight to the enemy's heart. Marc Ibarra, a razor-sharp billionaire, unleashes a hidden alien weapon -- a bold gambit to flip the odds in this desperate brawl.
Orbital assaults rip through the sky, dogfights blaze across the stars, and fleets splinter under fire. Marines bleed, extinction nears, and the war roars on. The Ember War unleashes raw military sci-fi -- brimming with steely heroes, brutal combat, and a galaxy-wide slugfest that'll seize fans of space warfare and alien throw downs until the last round flies.
The Ember War Saga has stormed the sci-fi battlefield, earning raves as "a relentless, action-packed epic" (Readers' Favorite) that "blends military grit with cosmic stakes like a rail gun shot to the gut" (Sci-Fi Pulse). Critics hail it as "unputdownable" (Goodreads, 4.5 stars), with fans cheering its "hard-hitting battles, iron-willed heroes, and galaxy-spanning scope" across ten pulse-pounding volumes. From the desperate stand of The Ember War to the climactic fury of The Xaros Reckoning, Richard Fox delivers "a masterclass in military sci-fi" (Amazon Reviews), stacking up Nebula nominations and a legion of readers who call it "the gold standard for space warfare." Dive into a military science fiction space opera series that's forged a blazing trail through the stars -- and keeps the ammo flying till the last page.
++++ Q&A with Richard Fox:
Is there an audiobook? Yes! Search for the 'Ember War Publisher's Pack' on Audible or Amazon and get two books for just one credit.
Is the series complete? All ten books of The Ember War Saga are complete. There are plenty more series in the Ember War universe for you to enjoy!
How would you describe The Ember War? Battlestar Galactica meets Mass Effect. It is a story of first contact with galactic empires, some with our best interests at heart, others that see us as an infestation to be wiped out. Epic space battles, heroes and villains you'll never forget and just the right amount of humor to make you bust out laughing while you're reading in public.
Is the Ember War Saga complete? The nine book series concludes with The Xaros Reckoning, and that end is both satisfying and uplifting. The Ember War universe continues with Terra Nova, the Dragon Award winning Iron Dragoons and the thrill packed Dotari Salvation.
Where'd you get the idea for The Ember War? The stars are silent. We've had our ear to the sky for decades but we haven't had a confirmed peep from any alien civilizations. There are three reasonable explanations: no one else is out there, we don't have the right tools to listen, or something is silencing extraterrestrial civilizations as they start broadcasting. If the third explanation is the right one, how could humanity save itself from that threat, and what if other aliens could help us?
What makes this unique? I have a strong military background and that carries into my writing. I spent ten years on active duty in the US Army, and served two combat deployments to Iraq. I try and bring all the fear, doubt and pulse pounding adrenaline from war into my novels, and I hope it shines through for the readers.
If this was a movie, what would it be rated? PG-13 for some language and intense action.
