Hunted by a superior foe out for revenge, can Dreadnought survive?
Commodore Cohen wants to use his new fleet to cripple the Koschite Republic’s war effort, by destroying their enormous shipyard at U-235. But after Admiral Morgan lost two fleets to Deathless ambushes, the Royal Navy can’t risk another failed attack.
When Dreadnought is sent to investigate Deathless asteroid mining facilities, Admiral Tomsk recognises his chance to deal a crippling blow to the Royal Navy, and also take his revenge on the man he sees as his nemesis.
With a brand new flagship, Tomsk pursues Cohen, convinced that he will sink his battleship and have his vengeance.
Will Tomsk get his wish, or will Cohen find a way to overcome him once more? Can Captain Warden and the marines gather intelligence that will reveal the Deathless plans?

About the author
Jon Evans
16 books9 followersJon Evans was born in Portsmouth, England and has worked in a fabulously dull series of jobs, none of which constitute a career. While doing these jobs the dream was always to become a writer and there were many false starts and unfinished projects.
With his brother James, he writes military science fiction in the Royal Marine Space Commandos universe. With the launch of Fleet in April 2021, there are now six books in the main series beginning with Commando which kicks off The Deathless War. They're also (slowly!) publishing a series of short stories about Marine X a.k.a. Ten - a fan favourite character with a colourful past.
With co-author Paul Teague the brothers have the By Strength and Guile trilogy, written in the same universe and time period and dealing with a special forces mission to combat a new foe, who inconsiderately reveal themselves while The Deathless War is raging.
Thieftakers is the first book in his renaissance fantasy series that will explore the life and adventures of a group of outsiders, assigned to the least desirable Watch posting in their city. Edrin Loft has plans to revolutionise the City Watch of Kalider and must prove his methods if he's to make headway. The Thieftakers are a rough bunch of misfits, whose only role is to chase the very dregs of society, where other members of the Watch fear to go.
The Edrin Loft Mysteries will be an ongoing series of novels and novellas based in Kalider, once the capital city of what is now known as The Shattered Empire. Once the series is well underway, there will be an epic fantasy series that deals with events on the macro scale, affecting the whole Shattered Empire. Currently this series is on hiatus while Jon works on the military science fiction series, but he intends to resume it once time permits.
He now lives in Cardiff, where his surname fools people into thinking he's a local.

Well another great storyline with Ten in the thick of it usual lol. Cohen and Ten seem to be building up enemies that are supposed to be on their sidekick not unusual for Ten . Looking forward to the next episode

left us hanging
While I was a fan of this series this last book left too much hanging. It feels like it needs another subsequent series to close out some of the story lines.
What is this new species introduced in the last few chapters? What is happening at New Bristol? Will Marine X ever have his name revealed?
Great series until it finished.

generally a good read
Felt like ending was rushed. Looking forward to the next book in series.
Marine X doesn’t disappoint in this book either.

Fast paced and entertaining
Really enjoyed books 1-6 and hoping to find books 7-100, or at least a few more to enjoy reading through
