Hostile Skies

Elsewhere, Book 3

By: Doug Lohse

Narrated by: James R Cheatham

The bounty on Duke’s head is now galaxy-famous and killers from across the stars are answering the call. Assassins, mercenaries, and worse descend on him, but Duke doesn’t just survive. He evolves.

Armed with power gained from new dungeons of his own creation and allies he’s won through strength and wit, Duke carves a path through the chaos. When a stop at a remote space station turns into a battleground, a chance alliance with the fearsome Steel Tusk Clan earns him both new comrades and a new enemy: the Syndicate. Ruthless, ancient, and far-reaching, the Syndicate declares war.

What follows is a campaign of fire and void. Battles throughout the Cosmos, terror from the shadows, and the unleashing of horrors from Exospace on the world of Teldin itself. As his Legions fall and the sky turns hostile, Duke faces his greatest trial yet. Only a desperate stand and a longshot offer any hope for Teldin.

Forces spanning the Cosmos are watching. The Entites are moving. And the Great Contest is about to begin whether Duke is ready for it or not.
