The Lost Swarm (Lost Starship Series Book 11), Vaughn Heppner - Part 1

Star Watch is reeling. The service has beaten New Men, massed bug fleets and hideous android attackers, but at a grim cost in men, starships and radioactive planets. The human worlds face starvation, increased space piracy and insurrections. Star Watch needs a break. It needs time to regroup, rebuild and reunite star systems. But Lord Drakos—the perfect soldier—knows this is the time to strike. With a fleet of renegade New Men and hybrid Swarm creatures, and a unique Builder weapon, he will smash Star Watch and rule the premen as emperor supreme. Plan A has Captain Maddox capturing Drakos before he can find the Swarm splinter colony world. Plan B means Star Watch will have to risk sending its last fleet into the Beyond. For Maddox this is also haunting time, as he closes in on the identities of his mother and father. THE LOST SWARM is the eleventh book in the LOST STARSHIP SERIES.
