Remnant
When intelligence reveals evidence of a Vemus Star Probe on the alien world of Edolus, Major Ethan Gates leads a covert strike team to capture it. They must act fast. If the Vemus harness the probe, they can create a new Alpha—an elite commander capable of crushing the Kevoryn's decade-long resistance in one catastrophic blow.
Nothing on Edolus is what it seems. The Kevoryn are closer to extinction than their own leaders will admit, and every advantage Ethan brings—his team, his hybrid soldiers, even the captive Vemus construct he's kept in chains—has already been accounted for by the enemy. The Vemus are smarter, more coordinated, and always one step ahead.
The Star Probe is within reach. The Alpha can be stopped.
But some prices, once paid, can never be undone.
REMNANT is the 20th book in the international bestselling military sci-fi series, First Colony.

Ken Lozito
Ken Lozito’s writing journey began as many great stories do—rooted in a lifelong love for science fiction and fantasy. Born in 1974, Lozito grew up in a world where imagination was his playground. Raised on a steady diet of books, films, and video games, he was naturally drawn to the expansive realms of space exploration, first contact, and the thrilling conundrums of humanity’s place in the cosmos.
Before his leap into the world of full-time writing, Lozito worked in IT security for nearly two decades. This career taught him to think analytically, a skill he brings to his stories, where complex worlds are carefully crafted, and the characters’ challenges feel as real as the stars themselves. In 2013, he took the plunge, trading his corporate job for the freedom to explore the infinite possibilities of storytelling.
