Aggressor (Atlantia Series) (Volume 3)

Product Description The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and crewed by an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians determined to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind. Pursuing a Vengâ€™en cruiser toward home, the Atlantia enters Chiron, an uncharted frontier system orbiting a dying star. Seeking supplies, the crew deploy to the small world of Chiron IV, hoping to replenish their dwindling stocks before continuing their journey. But Chiron IV harbours unseen dangers â€“ a flotilla of corsairs, privateers and escaped convicts amassing a fleet of their own. Caught between the unruly brigands on Chiron IV and the forces of the Legion beyond the system, and with many crew taken hostage on the surface, Captain Idris Sansin must thwart the pirates and defend the Atlantia. With a crew tired of conflict, violence and drug-abuse afflicting the civilians and the pirateâ€™s plan to flee the cosmos tempting even the strongest minds to reconsider their future with the Atlantia, the captain finds himself facing the greatest crisis of his command â€“ the break-up of what little remains of humanityâ€¦ Praise for Dean Crawford: "The fossilized remains of a 7,000-year-old creature dug from the sands of the Negev Desert in Israel become the bones of contention in Dean Crawford's fast-paced debut thriller... The book neatly threads together a wild variety of plotlines." - Wall Street Journal â€œâ€¦ cleverly introduced premiseâ€¦ assured pacing and plottingâ€¦â€ - Publishers Weekly â€œThe action is frenetic, in the vein of Matthew Reillyâ€™s Scarecrow series. Crawford is an able storyteller who smoothly orchestrates the plotâ€™s twists and turnsâ€¦ â€ â€“ Kirkus Reviews â€œâ€¦ brilliant high-concept, high-octane thrillerâ€¦.â€ - The Guardian "A fast-paced and entertaining yarn." - Melbourne Age "Partly mythical read, part thriller this pacy tale is a page turner guaranteed to keep you up late." - The Sun "Get the cameras rollingâ€”Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!" - R.L. Stine â€œThis is an amazingly good, intelligently told novel by an exciting new British author.â€ - Eurocrime "Earth-shattering intrigue, hyperdrive action and a desperate race to save humanity, cranked up to the max with scarily realistic science and apocalyptic religion thrown in for good measure . . . a major new talent has hit the mystery thriller scene!" - Scott Mariani ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dean Crawford began writing after his dream of becoming a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force was curtailed when he failed their stringent sight tests.
