Planet Wrecker

Doom Star #5 / 6
by Vaughn Heppner
Planet Wrecker (Doom Star #5) by Vaughn Heppner
Unrated

One by one, the moons and habitats of the Outer Planets have gone silent: Neptune, Uranus and Saturn. After the cyborg assault against the Jupiter System, the reasons seem obvious.

Those of the Inner Planets desperately scan the void for sign of a cyborg invasion fleet. Finally, one man discovers a blip. The blip becomes something terrifying: asteroids hurtling toward Earth. The asteroids bristle with lasers turrets and missiles, and their velocity and heading can only mean one thing. The rocky objects are meant to crash into Earth to annihilate the beleaguered, obsolete Homo sapiens and their Highborn tormenters.

Into this grim situation arrives Marten Kluge, envoy from the Jovians and Force-Leader of a meteor-ship. He has elite patrol-boat pilots and his troop-pods are full of veteran space marines. Before this is through, he’s going to need them all.

PLANET WRECKER is the story of genocidal cyborgs, arrogant Highborn and desperate men with their backs to the wall. PLANET WRECKER is a full novel, 94,000 words in length by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.

Vaughn Heppner

Vaughn Heppner's love for storytelling started in the snowbanks of Canada, where his childhood days were filled with dreams of distant worlds and adventures beyond his frosty front yard. But it wasn’t until a move to sunny Central California that his journey into writing truly began, fueled by an unexpected gift—his very first typewriter. Heppner found himself typing away in early mornings, crafting stories that echoed the same sense of wonder he’d experienced as a child, searching for magic in everyday moments.

It wasn’t long before he dove headfirst into writing full-time, blending his passion for science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. His most well-known works, such as the Lost Starship series, take readers on thrilling intergalactic journeys where humanity’s survival is never guaranteed, and where the characters are as complex as the alien worlds they explore. With an impressive portfolio spanning multiple genres, Heppner’s stories often strike a delicate balance between pulse-pounding action and profound character development.

Heppner's writing is not just about grand battles and high-tech spaceships—it’s about the people behind the machines and the way they struggle, grow, and find purpose in the most chaotic of circumstances. With every novel, Heppner invites readers into universes that are both alien and deeply human. Whether navigating the stars or exploring the depths of the human psyche, his work captures the essence of what it means to face the unknown with courage, and at times, with sacrifice.

When he’s not penning his next great adventure, Heppner can be found enjoying the natural beauty of the world around him, reflecting on his varied experiences. With each new book, Vaughn Heppner reminds us that the greatest journeys are the ones that take us beyond our wildest dreams—and into the very heart of what it means to be human.

From The Lost Starship to his numerous other series, Heppner's work continues to captivate and transport readers to places only he could imagine.
