Space Fleet warfare meets Alien Invasion in this new military science fiction thrill ride!

Earth’s last stand starts with a Marine who refused to die.

Alexander Cain is a soldier out of time. Taken from Earth at the height of the Cold War, he didn’t wake up to a hero’s welcome. Instead, he spent four centuries in stasis while alien architects known as Veythari rebuilt him — bone by augmented bone — into a weapon designed for a war no human was meant to face.

Now, the savior has returned alongside an armada.

Commanding the Warship Revenant, Cain finds an Earth he no longer recognizes. The world has been broken by climate collapse and is now ruled by fractured factions more interested in bickering over orbital credits than looking at the stars. But the sky is about to fall.

The Xenthari are coming.

Twisted, violent reflections of their Veythari creators, these bio-engineered nightmares aren’t looking for conquest. Driven by a thousand years of rage, they are coming to erase the legacy of the Veythari — and Earth is the final loose end.

With an ancient AI as his only friend and a thousand dormant warships waiting for crews, Cain must do the impossible: unite a planet that has forgotten how to follow and forge a defense from the ashes of the old world.

From the cockpit of Valkyrie-class fighters to the neural-links of Promethean mech suits, the battle for survival will be carved into the bones of those who live through it in this military science fiction thrill ride by debut author Gary Budd.

Perfect for fans of JN Chaney, Rick Partlow, and Jeffery H. Haskell!
