Conflict Space

Swarm of the Hive

By: Paden Hodges

Narrated by: Benjamin Fife

On the untamed planet of Terra Nova, humanity's last hope for a fresh start is under siege. The Hive, a terrifying alien race, launches a devastating attack, shattering the fragile peace and abducting Mira, the beloved wife of Orion Steele. In the aftermath, Orion is left with a burning determination to rescue her and protect their new home.

Barely escaping a Hive ambush, Orion finds refuge aboard the Valkyrie, a versatile frigate captained by the fearless Elias "Hawk" Maddox. Witnessing the Hive's brutality firsthand, Orion joins Hawk's crew, driven by his quest to find Mira and his resolve to fight back against this formidable enemy.

As the crew of the Valkyrie undertakes perilous missions and daring rescues, they encounter an array of compelling characters--Nova, a brilliant scientist with crucial knowledge about the Hive; Blade, a fierce warrior with a personal vendetta; and ROOK, a loyal combatant haunted by his past. Together, they form an unbreakable bond, facing the horrors of the Hive and uncovering secrets that could change the course of the conflict.
