Obsidian Fleet - Ogden, G J

. .

Résumé :
Space is cold. But the heart of an Omega Captain is colder still

Led by the powerful super-dreadnaught known as the Titan, the Sa'Nerra continue to push back Fleet lines. 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 triumph in rescuing the brilliant scientist, James Colicos, from enemy clutches, Captain Lucas Sterling pays a heavy price for his defiance. Banished to the Special Investigations Branch, under the command of the Cunning Captain Vernon Wessel, Sterling senses a sinister plot. His suspicions are not unfounded.

Meanwhile, Admiral Griffin, once the head of Fleet military forces, has vanished. But as the mastermind behind the Omega Taskforce, Griffin has a contingency plan in the form of the enigmatic Obsidian Fleet, shrouded in secrecy and unknown intentions.

Things come to a head as the brutal and merciless Sa'Nerran invasion armada attacks Fleet's most vital outpost, 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 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.
