Valkyrie Burning

Hayden War Cycle #3 / 6
by Evan Currie
Valkyrie Burning (Hayden War Cycle #3) by Evan Currie
Unrated

The war that began on Hayden's World years ago has blossomed into a brawl across the stars, and yet that single and otherwise largely unimportant colony continues to be a central point in the conflagration. Human forces have pushed outward, now taking enemy worlds in response to the attacks on their own, but they don't have the numbers or the power to hold what they take.

Now the alien Alliance shows a sliver of it's true power, and the war for domination of the skies over Hayden burns brightly once more. Neither side has any intentions of giving up the game, and both sides have plenty more aces held back against a rainy day.

A fiery rain is coming, and when it passes the future of the entire Orion-Cygnus Arm of our Galaxy will be decided.

Admiral Nadine Brooke, Captain Jane MacKay, and Sergeant Sorilla Aida intend to make certain it's decided in humanity's favor.

Valkyrie Burning is Book Three of the Hayden War Cycle. Books One and Two are On Silver Wings and Valkyrie Rising. The final novel of the Cycle, Book Four - the Valhalla Call - is scheduled to be released in early 2013.

Evan Currie

Evan Currie’s writing journey is as expansive as the worlds he creates, bridging the vast reaches of space, ancient civilizations, and the intricate interplay of technology and culture. Born on June 3, 1976, in Canada, Currie has transformed his passion for storytelling into a diverse career that spans military science fiction, techno-thrillers, and alternate history.

His path to becoming a prolific author was far from conventional. Early on, Currie dabbled in fan fiction, a playground that allowed him to hone his craft and develop a deep understanding of character and narrative structure. This creative outlet eventually paved the way for his debut techno-thriller Thermals, self-published in 2011. It was this first book that signaled the beginning of a rich and varied portfolio of works.

Currie’s distinctive writing style blends hard-hitting science fiction with relatable, human elements. His most famous series, Odyssey One, is a testament to this, mixing space battles with deeply human struggles. Whether exploring the unknowns of the cosmos in The Scourwind Legacy or the high-flying adventures in On Silver Wings, his stories explore the boundaries between technology, culture, and the people who shape them.

With a background in computer science and an unconventional experience working in the local lobster industry, Currie brings a grounded, technical perspective to his stories. His books aren’t just about technology and futuristic warfare—they’re about how people respond to challenges, adapt to ever-changing landscapes, and thrive in the face of the unknown.

Despite a wide-ranging career, writing has always been Currie’s true passion, a medium through which he channels his boundless imagination and curiosity. His work has resonated with readers who enjoy intelligent world-building and complex, thought-provoking plots that don’t shy away from exploring humanity’s future or its past. Through it all, Currie remains dedicated to crafting stories that are both immersive and compelling, inviting readers to venture into new worlds and see the familiar through a fresh lens.

As he continues to write and expand his literary universe, Evan Currie’s work is set to remain a staple for readers who crave adventure, technical depth, and characters that feel as real as the worlds they inhabit.
