Wrath Of The Storm













I'm excited to share that work continues on "The Lightning War," the third book in our series. As the Caliphate unleashes its devastating new doctrine of systematic destruction across Neo-Russian space, Captain Maria Roszak and Błyskawica face their greatest challenge yet.

When the colony of New Volga burns under precision orbital strikes, Maria must choose between defending Polonia Prime's borders or standing with former rivals. Paired with Neo-Russian liaison Captain Victor Petrov, she pioneers revolutionary combined tactics—Polonia's quantum-enhanced technology merging with Neo-Russian battle doctrine to counter overwhelming odds.

But as Maria and Victor forge their forces into something unprecedented, their growing professional respect evolves into an unexpected connection. Now, with millions of lives hanging in the balance, they must navigate not only the brutal arithmetic of war but also the complexities of their deepening bond.

I'm particularly excited to explore how their relationship develops against the backdrop of humanity's darkest hour. The Caliphate's methodical campaign of annihilation forces both commanders to question everything—including the walls they've built around their hearts.

Currently deep in the writing process, I'm aiming to deliver the intense space combat you've come to expect, while adding layers of personal stakes that raise the emotional intensity to new levels.

More updates coming soon!

The Błyskawica's aging systems are pushed to their limits as Król and his crew struggle to protect the civilians while facing overwhelming odds. Maria's innovative solutions offer a chance of victory, but at what cost?

Experience the thrilling action and desperate gambits of a starship pushed to the brink. Witness the courage and determination of a crew facing impossible choices in the face of tyranny.
