Aegis War: Ghosts of Empire
Humanity's first contact wasn't a greeting. It was a declaration of conquest.
When an advanced alien probe arrives in the Sol System claiming Earth as the property of the mysterious Ayreanian Potentate, humanity has only one chance to survive. Racing against time, Earth's scientists reverse-engineer alien technology to create a revolutionary faster-than-light Jump System and an interstellar gravity catapult network—determined to carry the coming war to the enemy before the enemy reaches Earth.
But the first expedition to the distant Gliese 35 system finds no mighty empire waiting.
Instead, they discover the shattered remains of a civilization long thought lost, an ancient automated fortress still guarding deadly secrets, and a frontier where history itself has been buried beneath centuries of silence.
Over the next three years, humanity transforms Gliese 35 into a heavily fortified military outpost—the last line of defense between Earth and whatever still lurks beyond the stars.
Then the aliens return.
As massive warships emerge from the darkness beyond the ancient catapult network, humanity realizes the coming conflict is not the war anyone expected. Old assumptions begin to crumble, forgotten civilizations cast long shadows across the galaxy, and the truth behind the Ayreanian Potentate may be far more dangerous than anyone imagined.
Blending hard science fiction, military strategy, first contact, and interstellar mystery, Aegis Ghosts of Empire launches an epic saga where the greatest threat may not be the enemy you can see—but the ghosts of an empire that vanished long ago.
