Battle of The Wilds
The Second Karacknid War has begun. Tens of thousands of Karacknid warships are pouring south into The Wilds. Their goal is simple; breach the system of Human border forts and strike at Earth. Led by Imperator Tanaka-lan, their numbers are overwhelming, and his tactical skill is second to none.
Emperor Somerville and the Imperial Fleet have no other choice, they must move out and meet Tanaka-lan in The Wilds. While Jonathan and others seek to raid the Karacknid battlefleets’ supply lines, James faces them head on. Across an area more than a thousand light years long and wide, he must use his fleet’s speed and flexibility to try and blunt and slow the Karacknids’ relentless advance.
For twenty-five years Humanity has been preparing for the war they always knew was coming. Now their defenses will be tested to the breaking point, and Humanity’s best commanders will be put to the ultimate test.
Battle of the Wilds is book 19 in the Empire Rising series and continues the Second Karacknid War arc.
