The Last Flight of the Argus

Corrosive Knights #2

by E.R. Torre

The desolate solar system Erebus serves as the uneasy border for rival Empires. There, they test each others' will until a spark ignites a firestorm. The backbone of their armadas descends upon the system, and whoever emerges victorious from this first skirmish wins the war. But then, the unthinkable: An explosion of unimaginable power destroys Erebus and all the star ships within. The war is over before it fully began. What caused this deadly explosion? What mysteries lie in the remnants of this system? And what is the terrifying secret behind THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE ARGUS?

The Last Flight of the Argus is the second novel in the CORROSIVE KNIGHTS series and offers a glimpse into that universe's dark, and intriguing, future.

Reviews

[Gerald Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

An unbridled sci fi adventure Masterpiece

A fantastic rip roaring sci fi adventure combining the punch and trickery of Alastair MacLean and the duplicitous plotlines and character renderings of Agatha Christie. All in One. Sci Fi at its very finest. Great heroes, devious evil scheming antagonists, galaxy spanning sci fi adventures, and a plot as convaluted as a bowl of spaghetti. Very readable, thrilling, occasionally funny. Given the chance it will become a True Classic of sci fi. What a novel.
