Produktbeschreibung

The Echelos Fold threat is contained, but not defeated. Humanity's technological understanding has grown due to reverse-engineered alien tech, but so has the scale of the cosmic threats. In The Starforged Gauntlet, a new, terrifying enemy emerges: The Ravagers of Shuun, a purely destructive, nomadic alien fleet that consumes planets for resources, indifferent to life. They are less an invading army and more a cosmic force of nature, leaving dead worlds in their wake.

To combat this overwhelming threat, "The Vanguard"-Captain Mira Halden, Sergeant Rafe "Torque" Maddix, Dr. Elenya Vos, and Corporal Ren Kess-alongside the world's remaining military forces (under the command of Admiral Silen Brade), must journey beyond Earth. They utilize a captured or repurposed alien vessel, venturing into the vast, cold indifference of the universe. Rafe's enhanced strength and durability are tested against the Ravagers' brutal weaponry, as he becomes a living shield against their devastating attacks. Ren's agility and heightened senses allow him to navigate their chaotic ship layouts and evade their relentless pursuit, becoming the team's eyes and ears in the void.

Elenya's bio-engineering knowledge is crucial in understanding the Ravagers' consumption patterns, while Mira's precognition is pushed to its absolute limits against an enemy that operates without discernible patterns. This book is a desperate, galaxy-spanning conflict, forcing the team to confront not just alien enemies, but the vast, cold indifference of the universe itself, and the chilling possibility that their powers might be leading them to a greater, unforeseen destiny. The climax sees The Vanguard making a desperate stand against the Ravagers of Shuun, pushing their powers and their humanity to the breaking point, as they face the true, horrifying scale of cosmic consumption.

Autorenporträt

Gregory Parrott is more than a writer; he embodies the very stories he's always yearned to read. Since his restless teenage years, he has crafted worlds where futuristic starships meet World War II battlefields, and ancient dragons exist alongside modern drones. By blending science fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, military sagas, and fantasy, he provides readers a captivating escape through time, space, and the complexities of the human experience.

Living in New England, Gregory's vibrant life in Massachusetts deeply influences his narratives. Growing up with rolling hills and rich history has shaped his creative sensibilities. Now, he balances his writing with family life, cheering for his kids at sporting events or brainstorming bedtime stories over a cluttered kitchen table filled with sketches of alien landscapes and battle maps.

Outside, Gregory finds solace in the rhythm of the water. Twice a week, he joins a veterans' crew in a dragon boat on the Connecticut River. This disciplined teamwork enhances the realism of his action scenes. After paddling, he retreats to his gaming den, diving into RPGs and tactical shooters, treating these sessions as studies in pacing, character motivation, and world-building.

Running also grounds him, especially in the vivid New England autumn. Every run clarifies his thoughts, with plot ideas emerging as his feet strike the pavement, creating a mental ledger of dialogue snippets, settings, and plot twists.

Discipline and imagination fuel Gregory's storytelling. His early fantasies, scribbled during math class, echo the same passion that drives his current work. Years spent with veteran military strategists have refined his craft, marrying meticulous research with boundless creativity. Each chapter invites readers to explore universes where rogue AIs lead rebellions, medieval knights find portals to the future, and ordinary people become extraordinary heroes in war.

His narratives resonate with the stories we all wish to hear, validating hidden dreams. With the precision of a seasoned tactician and the wonder of a child, Gregory offers a literary passport, transporting readers to extraordinary realms while reminding them that the magic of storytelling lies in the heart of the storyteller.
