Imperial Gambit

Archangel One #3 / 4
by Evan Currie
Imperial Gambit (Archangel One #3) by Evan Currie
Unrated

The Empire, in its refusal to be dissuaded from hostilities, have placed the fledgling Terran Alliance and their Priminae Allies into a corner from which there seems no reasonable escape.

Steph and his Archangels continue their mission deep within the enemy territory, posing as mercenaries and pirates to gain intelligence on the Imperial command but as they go deeper and learn more, little of what they gather seems good. The Imperial push for war has a deeper root than anyone expected, and Steph does not like what he is learning.

While his young Protégé and friend conduct one mission, Eric Weston is embroiled in another. His efforts have held the Empire at bay despite their tenacious attempts at probing into the space controlled by Earth and the Priminae, but he knows that it cannot last. The enemy has too many ships, and is willing to spend far too many lives to further their goals... but even Eric Weston is not ready for just how far this enemy will take things.

The Empire has superweapons of their own.

Peace can only exist so long as all sides are in accord... War, however, only requires one dissenter.

The Empire Dissents.

Imperial Gambit is the third book in the Archangel One series and continues the saga of the best selling series Odyssey One and that crew's push into the terrifying reality of a Galaxy at war.

Evan Currie

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.
