It all comes down to this…
From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Ian Douglas comes the jaw-dropping finale to his adrenaline-fueled military sci-fi Solar Warden series.
The Saurians have an agenda: dominance over Earth. Operating from the shadows, they plant conspiracy theories and instil fear among the human population. Too weak in numbers to militarily conquer a world they believe to be their own, they seek to revive Nazi ideologies to gain absolute control.
With his species in danger, Commander Mark Hunter and his Joint Space Strike Team must join forces with time travelers and government psychics if they stand a chance at saving their planet.
As if that weren’t challenge enough, Hunter’s girlfriend has been kidnapped in a bid to control him. Now he has just one chance to find her before the Saurians bring the entire base crashing down around him.
Hunter and his crew will require a miracle, and even that might not be enough . . .
New York Times bestselling author Ian Douglas delivers the action-packed second military sci-fi adventure in his Solar Warden series, set in a wildly imaginative alternate present where conspiracy theories are terrifying realities and reptilian aliens team up with Nazis in space.
By exposing the sinister Saurians, Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Mark Hunter and his team have more than proven themselves. Yet the war between humanity and the intergalactic aliens has only begun – now they must save themselves and all of civilization.
The JSST – the Joint Space Strike Team Hunter has put together from all branches of the U.S. military – is again deployed on board the Earth starcraft carrier Hillenkoetter on a mission to probe a possible historical connection between the Saurians and the Nazi Third Reich. At a planet called Paradies orbiting the red giant star Aldebaran, they discover a long-rumored colony of expatriate Nazis … and the beginnings of a plan to enslave Earth under Nazi – and Saurian – rule.
With Earth at stake, governments deeply compromised, and evil at the door, Solar Warden must fight together to end it all … even if it means sacrificing everything.
The last installment in the Star Carrier series, where first contact, space opera, and military adventure combine, from New York Times bestselling author Ian Douglas!
Will this be the end?
Or a new beginning…
Having battled aliens to prove humanity’s worth as a star-faring species, Admiral Trevor Gray has a new mission: follow the directives of the super-AI Konstantin and lead the star carrier America on a mission through time and space to determine if humanity can truly transcend into Singularity … and avoid the pitfalls that have plagued so many of the aliens Earth has encountered since it gained faster-than-light travel.
But there are those out there who don’t want an answer, who wish to maintain their own power with the status quo. Beyond the dangers of star travel, Gray must contend with politicians looking to end the influence of artificial intelligence on human decisions, a secret fleet out to destroy him, hostile aliens, and the vast, uncharted space full of clues but short on answers.
A species must evolve to survive into the future. But that species must have a vision of the future. Gray hopes to find that vision for humanity … 800,000 years in the past.
The explosive opening of a new military SF adventure from the author of the Legacy Trilogy and the Star Carrier series.
THE TRUTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE
In the final days of World War II, the Allies ransacked Berlin, but they failed to capture one of the most vital members of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle: SS Obergruppenfuhrer Hans Kammler helped to engineer Auschwitz, but he was also a liaison with silent partners whose technological wonders nearly helped the Nazis win the war – the alien species the Germans called the Eidechse.
More than seven decades later, U.S. Navy SEAL Mark Hunter has witnessed the impossible, an unidentified flying object destroying a North Korean compound used to develop weapons of mass destruction. Hunter is recruited by a government agency that has harboured a secret alliance with extraterrestrials since 1947. Selected to lead an elite force of soldiers, he will travel across the stars to help humanity stake its claim among greater intelligent life in the universe.
But the aliens who have infiltrated Earth and guided war-mongering nations since the twentieth century have their own agendas…
There's no more time...
There's always more time...
Trevor Gray has been stripped of his command of the starship America, and is unsure what to do with his life. Having dedicated so much of himself to the service, he knew following the super-AI Konstantin's advice could have severe consequences. He just never thought he would be out of the fight.
Because that's what Earth is in: a fight against a sinister alien force so technologically advanced that there seems little hope. That's why he disobeyed his orders in the first place - to figure out a way to stop them. But now he's beached.
Which is just what Konstantin wanted.
For the super-AI has a plan: connect Gray with the Pan-Europeans, and set him on a course to the remote star Deneb. There, he is to make contact with a mysterious alien civilization using the new artificial intelligence Bright Light, and maybe-if they can make it in time-prevent humanity from being wiped from the universe.

With both time and space as enemies, St. Clair must figure out a way to explore this new corner of space, maintain military order on a mission that was supposed to be civilian, and-somehow-bring the Tellus Ad Astra back to the Milky Way.
