But General Trevor Garroway and his warriors are about to discover that the old rules of engagement have drastically changed.

Once he was the gaijin champion of a cruel and oppressive empire.

But the Hegemony has a new technology that could suppress any resistance to Earth's rule.

Dev Cameron helped the rebel Confederation defeat the Hegemony forces at Herakles, but his experience merging with an alien Naga consciousness has changed him irrevocably, and the rebellion rages on.

Nie ma już czasu... Zawsze jest czas... Trevor Gray stracił dowodzenie nad lotniskowcem kosmicznym „Ameryka” i nie wie, co ze sobą począć. Wiedział, że zastosowanie się do rad super-AI zwanej Konstantinem może mieć poważne konsekwencje. Nie myślał jednak, że zostanie przez to wyłączony z walki. Ziemię czeka bowiem starcie ze złowieszczą obcą istotą, tak zaawansowaną technologicznie, że ludzkość ma niewielkie szanse na przetrwanie. Gray sprzeciwił się rozkazom właśnie po to, by ją zatrzymać.

In the final days of World War II, the Allies ransacked Berlin, but they failed to capture one of the most vital members of Adolf Hitler’s inner circle. SS Obergruppenfuhrer Hans Kammler helped to engineer Auschwitz, but he was also a liaison with silent partners whose technological wonders nearly helped the Nazis win the war - the alien species the Germans called the Eidechse. More than seven decades later, US Navy SEAL Mark Hunter has witnessed the impossible, an unidentified flying object destroying a North Korean compound used to develop weapons of mass destruction.

By exposing the sinister Saurians, Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Mark Hunter and his team have more than proven themselves. Yet the war between humanity and the intergalactic aliens has only begun - now they must save themselves and all of civilization. The JSST - the Joint Space Strike Team Hunter has put together from all branches of the US military - is again deployed on board the Earth starcraft carrier Hillenkoetter on a mission to probe a possible historical connection between the Saurians and the Nazi Third Reich.

Trevor Gray has been stripped of his command of the starship America and is unsure what to do with his life. Having dedicated so much of himself to the service, he knew following the super-AI Konstantin’s advice could have severe consequences. He just never thought he would be out of the fight. Because that’s what Earth is in: a fight against a sinister alien force so technologically advanced that there seems little hope. That’s why he disobeyed his orders in the first place - to figure out a way to stop them. But now he’s beached.

The Saurians have an agenda: dominance over Earth. Operating from the shadows, they plant conspiracy theories and instil fear among the human population. Too weak in numbers to militarily conquer a world they believe to be their own, they seek to revive Nazi ideologies to gain absolute control. With his species in danger, Commander Mark Hunter and his Joint Space Strike Team must join forces with time travelers and government psychics if they stand a chance at saving their planet.

The sixth book in this action-packed, New York Times bestselling science fiction series – STAR CARRIER. Once rebels themselves facing off against the Earth Confederation, the United States of North America is now the dominant force in negotiations with the interstellar Sh'daar Collective. But...

Having battled aliens to prove humanity’s worth as a star-faring species, Admiral Trevor Gray has a new mission: follow the directives of the super-AI Konstantin and lead the star carrier America on a mission through time and space to determine if humanity can truly transcend into Singularity...and avoid the pitfalls that have plagued so many of the aliens Earth has encountered since it gained faster-than-light travel. But there are those out there who don’t want an answer, who wish to maintain their own power with the status quo.
