Laws of Ancidium (Savage Stars #5)

Having fought his hardest battle, Captain Carl Recker returns to planet Lustre, bringing the alien battleship Fulcrum with him.

Recker is under no illusions that he’ll be offered backdated shore leave, but his feet don’t even touch the ground before trouble shows up. A heavily armed fifty-thousand-metre Meklon interstellar drops out of lightspeed near the planet. The Indarox has travelled far and everyone onboard is dead. It’s a mystery nobody needed, least of all Recker.

A mission to investigate doesn’t go as planned and he finds himself once again in hostile territory, attacked by Lavorix, and struggling to unearth the sinister truth behind the Indarox’s mission.

The truth is not welcome. The Galactar was one of six. Five others remain and they’re actively searching for human worlds. The Indarox may well hold the key to their destruction, if only Recker can figure out how.

With the HPA on the brink of civil war, he has far more on his hands than just aliens. Victory will mean playing hard and playing dirty. In comparison, the Galactar seems like just a bump in the road.

Laws of Ancidium is a traditional-style science-fiction action adventure and the fifth book in the Savage Stars series, following directly after events in Fulcrum Gun. Expect space combat, ruthless aliens, mysterious tech and lots more
