Something shockingly scary this way comes? Commander Adella Vega of the Alliance navy - aka Hell-Fleet - is stuck at the dog-end of the galaxy on punishment duty with the Fleet's losers, thieves and pedantic pen-pushers. Adella thought that was bad enough, until large portions of her sector just went dark. Is something big, bad, and particularly nasty now heading her way? And what does her predicament have to do with the free-trader captain Lana Fiveworlds, her rickety ship, Gravity Rose - and its misfit crew? Sadly, all their troubles are about to collide and multiply in the most horrific manner since the Vela Supernova Remnant detonated. Sometimes, the future's so bright you better bring lead-lined shades ... and a rail-cannon or three. Because Earth's best space opera series just met the page-turning universe of military science fiction! --------------- ABOUT THE BOOK 'Hell Fleet' is the 5th book in Sliding Void series.
