Piercing the Darkness

es in Piercing the Darkness, the highly anticipated third book in the series. Part space opera and part military-political thriller, Charles Hack is carving out an exciting new sub-genre in science fiction with the Space Warfare Group books. Darkness has come with a vengeance, and it’s called the Noct. The mysterious aliens attacked the Galactic Coalition Summit on Okuta, sending the Coalition into a tailspin. Hidden in the shadows during the attack, the Noct secretly won the race to find their ancient artifact with devastating star-killing power. And after being lost for a millennium, they plan to use it. Following the events of Shrouded in Darkness, Major Malcolm “Mac” Lambert returns to the Battlecruiser McDaniels, having apprehended the man who kidnapped the Okutan Princess. New intel takes Mac to a rendezvous with an unexpected informant and an invasion of a secret compound promising to uncover the conspirators. Meanwhile, the Space Warfare Group, now led by Major Dan Jameson, is sent on a risky mission to sneak behind enemy lines and capture two of the powerful Noct for testing.
