Echoes of the Void
Two years after achieving an unprecedented feat that staved off near-certain extinction, humanity is expanding onto other worlds at a pace that terrifies its new Galactic allies. On Mars and the Moon, cities rise. In the void between the stars, something ancient and predatory has taken notice.
When three of humanity’s most vital leaders vanish during a Federation council session—including the woman Robert Shaw loves—he learns the truth the Galactics have hidden for eons. A hostile intelligence waits on the far side of a vast, starless void.
A void from which no ship has ever returned.
Humanity’s astonishing capabilities may have acted as a beacon. And the hunters are already here.
To rescue the woman he loves, Robert must lead his allies into the eerie, mysterious void, knowing only that the malevolent species that waits on the other side makes every previous enemy look pathetic. The odds of success are vanishingly small. But the price of failure is extinction. And not just for humanity this time, but for every sentient species in two major arms of the galaxy.
Echoes of the Void is a relentless, high-stakes thriller of cosmic scale and impossible odds—and a gripping continuation of a series already earning rave reviews.
