From the award-winning author comes a gripping, fast-paced and fascinating science fiction adventure. Vividly imagined and sharply written, fans of Ann Leckie and Becky Chambers will be engrossed.

When Nicola Mafalda’s scout ship comes under attack, she’s left deeply traumatised by the drastic action it takes to keep her alive. Months later, when an old flame comes to her for help, she realises she has to find a way to forgive both the ship and her former lover. Reckless elements are attempting to reactivate a giant machine that has lain dormant for thousands of years. To stop them, Nicola and her crew will have to put aside their differences, sneak aboard a vast alien megaship, and try to stay alive long enough to prevent galactic devastation.

Amahle is a Light Chaser - one of a number of explorers, who travel the universe alone (except for their onboard AI), trading trinkets for life stories.

But when she listens to the stories sent down through the ages she hears the same voice talking directly to her from different times and on different worlds. She comes to understand that something terrible is happening, and only she is in a position to do anything about it.

And it will cost everything to put it right.

«Как быть, когда кончается твой мир? Кого пытаться спасти? Где искать убежища?» Эти вопросы задает себе капитан «Злой Собаки», разумного космического крейсера, который пытается уйти от погони. У него на хвосте — непобедимый Кинжальный флот, стремящийся уничтожить все корабли человечества, а топливо почти на исходе. Согласно плану, «Злая Собака» должна дотянуть до Интрузии, области космоса с неизученными, таинственными свойствами, благодаря чему Кинжальный флот и драконоподобные твари из гипера обходят эти места стороной. Есть надежда, что там безопасно — насколько это возможно в нестабильной реальности. Но можно ли назвать реальным то, с чем придется столкнуться команде «Собаки»?..

Захватывающее завершение космической трилогии!

Впервые на русском!

Мраморная армада, возложив на себя миссию создать условия для мирного существования всех галактик, приступает к активным действиям. Чтобы устранить первопричину военных конфликтов, ей необходимо любыми способами тотально уничтожить вооружение человечества. Руководить операцией призвана поэтесса Она Судак – в прошлом капитан Аннелида Дил, убийца мыслящих джунглей Пелапатарна. «Я прошла через огонь, и он выковал меня крепче и резче прежней. Я стала закаленной сталью, сверкающим клинком с обостренным интеллектом поэта». В это время из Интрузии — области космоса, где прорвано пространство высших измерений между двумя реальностями, — в мир…

«Я не машина; я существо, в котором смешались человек и животное... Я в родстве с птерозаврами, с древними волками и ястребами». Так думает о себе «Злая Собака» — межгалактический тяжелый крейсер класса «хищник», первоначально созданный для разрушения и убийства, но, в отличие от своих диких предков, «отрастивший» себе совесть. После недавнего окончания кровопролитной войны, уничтожившей Пелапатарн — планету с уникальной биосферой и мыслящими джунглями, — команда «Злой Собаки» во главе с капитаном Салли Констанц выполняет гуманитарную миссию. Получив задание оказать помощь лайнеру, разбившемуся при странном стечении обстоятельств, капитан…

Award-winning author Gareth L. Powell delivers an explosive conclusion to his epic Embers of War trilogy.

From award-winning author Gareth L. Powell, the second book in the critically acclaimed Embers of War space opera series.

The former warship Trouble Dog and her crew of misfits is called upon by the House of Reclamation to investigate a distress call from the human starship the Lucy's Ghost. Her crew abandon their crippled ship and seek refuge abroad an abandoned, slower-than-light generation ship launched ten thousand years before by an alien race. However, the enormous ship contains deadly secrets of its own.

Recovered war criminal, Ona Sudak, faces a firing squad for her actions in the Archipelago War. But, at the last moment, she is smuggled out of her high security prison. The Marble Armada has called for her to accompany its ships as observer and liaison, as it spreads itself across the human Generality, enforcing the peace at all costs. The alien ships will not tolerate resistance, and all dissenters are met with overwhelming and implacable force. Then her vessel intercepts messages from the House of Reclamation and decides the Trouble Dog has a capacity for violence which cannot be allowed to endure.

As the Trouble Dog and her crew fight to save the crew of the Lucy's Ghost, the ship finds herself caught between chaotic alien monsters on one side, and on the other, destruction at the hands of the Marble Armada.

The warship Trouble Dog was built and bred for calculating violence, yet following a brutal war, she finds herself disgusted by conflict and her role in a possible war crime. Seeking to atone, she joins the House of Reclamation, an organisation dedicated to rescuing ships in distress. But, stripped of her weaponry and emptied of her officers, she struggles in the new role she’s chosen for herself. When a ship goes missing in a disputed system, Trouble Dog and her new crew of misfits and loners, captained by Sal Konstanz, an ex-captain of a medical frigate who once fought against Trouble Dog, are assigned to investigate and save whoever…

Meanwhile, in Paris, after taking part in an illegal break-in at a research laboratory, the heir to the British throne goes on the run. And all the while, the doomsday clock ticks towards Armageddon.
