Orion Fleet (Rebel Fleet)

What enemy could be more terrifying than a soulless, alien machine?

A year ago the Kher Empire was forced to retreat, but they were not beaten. In Orion Fleet, they return with a new weapon. A huge ship driven by AI begins methodically grinding inhabited worlds to dust. This unstoppable enemy is without fear or remorse, and the Rebels begin a desperate battle just to slow its advance.

Leo Blake takes Earth’s first warship into space to find a counter to this deadly new attack. The Imperial Fleets take notice of Earth’s interference, and they’re intent upon revenge. Even if he wins, Blake might have doomed our homeworld.

Orion Fleet is the second book in the Rebel Fleet series, military SF by best-selling author B. V. Larson.

Rebel Fleet

They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice.

A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings.

The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them.

The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we’re less primitive. Today, we’re a target.

One man is chosen to command Earth’s single ship in the Rebel Fleet. When the war breaks out, Leo Blake must win it…or die trying.

“Classic B. V. Larson. This book grabs you by the plasma cannon and won’t let go. Fast adventure, fast action – and I loved the space-battles!” – S. Arthur

He will save us all. He must. Or we’ll die.

Victory (The Legacy Fleet Trilogy)

United Earth burns.

The Swarm runs rampant across our space. We mourn the loss of thousands of ships and millions of fallen comrades. Billions of fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers – all gone, all dead. It is time we end this, for our moment has come.

But victory never comes without sacrifice. Heroes are not taught nor trained but forged in blood and ashes. Our grandchildren’s history books will tell our story and glorify the heroes and legends.

The Swarm will be conquered; we will prevail. At any price.

Leviathan (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier Series)

The Lost Fleet delivers thrilling combat on a grand space-opera scale. Now Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary embarks on a brand new mission―to defend the Alliance from itself―in New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell’s latest action-packed novel.

Two Syndicate World star systems have fallen prey to a mysterious fleet of warships―a fleet controlled entirely by artificial intelligence―that is now targeting Alliance space. The warships are no mystery to Geary. They were developed by his government to ensure security but malfunctioned. If the Syndics learn the truth, the war with the Alliance will resume with a vengeance.

As the government attempts to conceal the existence of the AI warships―and its role in their creation―Geary pursues them, treading a fine line between mutiny and obedience. But it soon becomes clear that his fleet is no match for the firepower of the machine-piloted armada.

With the help of the Dancer species of aliens, Geary has tracked the AI ships to their secret base in the supposedly mythical Unity Alternate star system where his fleet, the last hope of the Alliance’s future, will end the conflict at any cost….
