Humanity faces annihilation at the guns of a mighty alien invasion armada, yet internal struggles within Fleet and the United Governments add new dangers. Despite his success in recovering genius scientist James Colicos from the clutches of the enemy, Captain Lucas Sterling is forced to pay the price for disobeying orders. Transferred to the Special Investigations Branch under the command of its Machiavellian head, Captain Vernon Wessel, Sterling suspects foul play. And he's not wrong. Meanwhile, Admiral Griffin, stripped of her position as head of Fleet military forces, has gone missing. But as the mastermind behind the Omega Taskforce, Griffin has a backup plan in the form of the mysterious new Obsidian Fleet. Things come to a head as the brutal and merciless Sa'Nerran invasion armada attacks Fleet's most vital outpost, again forcing Sterling to break ranks and go it alone. Their only hope is to develop a defense against the alien neural control weapon that has already turned dozens of Fleet ships and thousands of Fleet crew. But Sa'Nerran Emissary, Clinton Crow, is still hot on Sterling's tail. This time Sterling and the Omega crew of the Invictus must venture into enemy territory without the support of Fleet forces. Wanted and on the run, Sterling will do anything to ensure that their mission succeeds. The Omega Directive is in effect. And never in the history of war has its callous and cold-hearted doctrines been more necessary. Obsidian Fleet is book four of the Omega Taskforce military sci-fi series by G J Ogden.

Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves—Virginia, Cassius, Sevro—in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow’s long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of spectacular disasters leads to the destruction of the Old World. The few survivors flee, settling in the tri-systems forged in the outer reaches of space. The legacy of this settlement was the establishment of the first Board of the conglomerates, which organised and provided the means of survival under the motto of ‘contribute to survive.’ However, when the shining Rose City, a monument to not only humanity’s victory over extinction but also a promise of prosperity for the future, fell during the traumatic event known as the Capital Collapse, a stark truth was realised. To survive is to struggle. Now, the common worker is fearful of the retribution of the powers that be, seemingly blaming the underlings for the fall of their great city. But there are some who resist. From this sect of resistance, one member of a humanoid species that had once known the worlds as their own sets out to learn the real truth of why so many have to suffer, delving into the horrors and nightmares that lie at the heart of the forlorn Capital. With the self-exiled Elite Commander Nathan Winter returning to the fray, could the secret of the Capital Collapse set the people free? Or will it bring only conflict and further ruin?
