Description
Elian Raian, son of the High Commander, raised in this utopia, yearns to find his "war," his "unknown." And his desires will soon be fulfilled. What begins as a series of imperceptible ripples – asteroids moving with overly precise trajectories, bureaucratic delays, the deafening silence of a vanished ship – quickly transforms into an unimaginable nightmare.
When the Federal ship "Vigilant" disappears without a trace, Elian and his team on the Freedom II are sent on a reconnaissance mission. They will discover a terrifying truth: the "asteroids" were not mere rocks, but kinetic projectiles at near-light speed, intelligent weapons capable of disintegrating a cruiser into a cloud of dust. An unknown enemy, whose cruelty is matched only by its terrifying power, has declared war.
"The Lost Empire: Threat from the Unknown" is a compelling exploration of the nature of peace and vigilance. It is the story of a new generation that must learn the weight of command and the meaning of sacrifice in an era that believed it had overcome all conflict. Will they be able to honor the legacy of their fathers, or will the hard-won peace be merely the prelude to a dark war that threatens to erase existence itself?
Prepare for a journey into the deepest darkness of space, where the line between survival and disintegration is thinner than a nebula of dust. The hunt has just begun, and the prey is not the only one unaware of being pursued.
