Fury of Heaven
Task Force Victory has one mission: land, hold, and drive the Buzzers back into the sea. The arrival of the Rhinos, a potential ally, changes all that. Their arrival should be potential salvation. Instead, it throws everything into chaos. Leadership falters and the Buzzers attack, cutting off a regiment and sending Task Force Victory reeling.
As Thunderbolt pilots clash with a heightened aerial threat and betrayal guts the air wing from within, Lieutenant Commander Vivian Llewelyn fights to keep her squadron in the sky. On Earth, recent ace-turned-recruiting asset Paige Dixon discovers there are others wanting an end to the war by ceding ground to the Buzzers and vows to find a way back to the fight. Major Shawn Davies and Commander Kathy March deploy their intelligence teams searching for answers and opportunities only to find themselves too close to the fight for comfort. The Buzzers, having drawn the EMF forces in spring a devastating trap, and Task Force Victory will pay the price.
As tensions rise and new alliances are tested in fire, the fate of the human race will hinge on a single island, a single battle, and the courage of those willing to stand when all else falls.
The fight against the Buzzers rages on in the Buzzer War Series, by Kevin Ikenberry. With realistic military action, space and ground battles, and a vicious bug alien invasion, it's perfect for fans of Starship Troopers, Hell Divers 2, and Rick Partlow's Drop Trooper!

Kevin Ikenberry
Kevin Ikenberry writes science fiction with the precision of a military strategist and the heart of a lifelong dreamer. Before crafting vivid battlefields on the page, he spent over two decades serving as a space operations officer in the U.S. Army. That experience didn’t just shape his discipline—it defined the way he writes: grounded, thoughtful, and always with one eye on the stars.
Growing up in Colorado, Ikenberry was the kind of kid who scanned the night sky and imagined what lay beyond it. That fascination eventually turned into a career in space science education—running U.S. Space Camp programs and Challenger Learning Centers—before he returned to his first love: storytelling. His novels aren’t just about aliens or distant worlds; they’re about leadership under pressure, sacrifice, and the complex choices made in the heat of battle.
The Buzzer War
When the silence of space is shattered by a signal no one can trace—and everyone fears—the question isn't just where it's coming from, but who survives hearing it.
Set in a near-future shaped by cold alliances and fragile truces, The Buzzer War unfolds in a universe where sound is weaponized, information is scarce, and trust is a liability. What begins as a subtle interference in deep-space communications soon reveals itself as a threat capable of unraveling entire military hierarchies. The buzzers—unseen, unknowable, and devastating—aren’t just attacking ships; they’re dismantling the very idea of control.
The Buzzer War consists of six books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
