[The Depths of Darkness 02] • Shadows of the Swarm

On a long-forgotten planet cloaked in shadow, an ancient evil greater than any the galaxy has ever known lies in wait. And soon it will be free . . .

The only thing Alyx Starburn wants is peace. All he got was war.

The oppressive Earth Alliance has been beaten for now, but at an immeasurably high cost. The galaxy is in chaos, enemies are closing in on all sides, and the war is beginning to fracture Alyx’s budding relationship with Jess.

While on a routine assignment, Alyx’s team stumbles across clues to the location of an ancient alien weapon that could shift the tide of war; a weapon so deadly it nearly wiped out the galaxy thousands of years before; a weapon the EA will do anything to have, unless Alyx, Jess, and Vaness can get there first.

But nothing is ever so simple. Hopes will be built and broken, rebellions incited and smothered. The journey will test the team’s limits as they enter the heart of an ancient evil, and to succeed in the end, Alyx must decide if he’s willing to sacrifice the very thing he loves most.
