Homeworld

by C.E. Stalbaum

A hundred years ago, Keledon was the beating heart of the most powerful interstellar empire the galaxy has ever known. Now it is a barren wasteland and a lingering testament to human arrogance. But the upstart Commonwealth has promised to rejuvenate their lost homeworld, and scores of refugees have flocked to the long-dead planet in search of salvation.

Their first and last line of defense is Phoenix Squadron, a motley group of young, psychically-gifted fighter pilots with a budding reputation for improbable victories over the mighty Convectorate. But they are not as unified as they seem—or as infallible as they hope. As a new threat emerges from the darkest shadows of the galaxy, the disparate species of the Commonwealth must learn to fight together…or die alone.

The Spiderverse expands with HOMEWORLD (112,000 words).

Reviews

[C.E. Stalbaum]

HOMEWORLD - The 4th Spiderverse book overall and the second installment of the Phoenix Squadron trilogy. The current plan is to finish this mini-series early next year (after writing another Godswar novel).

Long-term, I'll shift back to the original characters (Jen, Markus) and keep the universe going.
