In the darkness of space a battered fleet hovers over a thriving world, a lost colony intended to be the refuge of a defeated ruler. Instead of an abandoned safe haven, the refugees find a thriving world grappling in political and military intrigue. The new worlds tech is far inferior to that of the desperate spacefarers, but the natives have the numbers to make a hard, nasty fight. Instead of war, the fleet manipulates the indigenous population to gain leverage until a mutiny erupts within their own ranks, tearing them apart.
The schism in the fleet triggers a bloodbath, turning former comrades against one another while embroiling their adoptive world in a colossal struggle which will determine whether they live in tyranny or freedom. This epic conclusion to the Last World series finds entire nations and alliances planetside siding with factions of the alien interlopers, dragging them in a global conflagration that threatens to consume them all. A world war instigated by a leader in the space fleet driven by his naked quest for power.
While the only world available to them burns, a rebel officer commands an outnumbered and out-gunned squadron of warships, engaging in a cat-and-mouse game against superior forces, fighting and dying in the cold vacuum of space. His meager unit strikes out in a series of deadly raids across the solar system, leaving charred derelicts and lifeless, frozen bodies tumbling in their wake. Down below, Terry Hannigan and his team struggle in the blood and the mud, doing what they can to save their world from the usurpers in the face of impossible odds.
The side that ultimately prevails will determine the fate of a world forgotten in antiquity. A world that holds the key to survival for them all.
