Fortress Earth

Extinction Wars #4 / 4
by Vaughn Heppner
Fortress Earth (Extinction Wars #4) by Vaughn Heppner
not yet rated

Earth’s last Assault Troopers target the oldest being in existence.

In the fourth book of the Extinction Wars series, Abaddon commands a Karg-Jelk Super Fleet bent on annihilating humanity.

Years of intense terraforming has healed the Earth from the ravages of alien hell-burners and a deadly bio-terminator. The homeworld thrives, reseeded and repopulated, with heavy layers of defensive systems to make sure the Earth is never harmed again.

But Abaddon has incredibly advanced technology, including a vast moon-sized ship able to teleport to any place in the galaxy.

If Creed hopes to save humanity, he’ll need more than fierce determination and savage fighting skills. He has to go the galactic core to find out the truth about Abaddon, the Jelk and the terrible secret of the human race. The knowledge will help to strengthen Fortress Earth, but will it be enough to win?

Also known as Assault Troopers Book 4.

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.
