An impossible warship has risen from a star.
An ancient force is waking.
And the next Desolation has begun.
Jax has survived war, betrayal, and the collapse of everything he thought he understood. But when a massive alien dreadnought emerges from the heart of a sun, the galaxy is thrown into a new kind of terror.
No known empire built it.
No fleet can stop it.
No weapon has managed to destroy it.
As the Locorran Imperium, Earth’s forces, and old enemies prepare for the impossible, Jax is drawn toward a mystery buried beneath centuries of myth and forgotten catastrophe. The dreadnought is more than a ship. It is connected to Shiv, an ancient power tied to the Desolations—cycles of destruction that have erased civilizations before and may now return to finish what they began.
But for Jax, the danger is not only cosmic.
It is personal.
Diane, the woman he loves, becomes entangled with forces powerful enough to reshape worlds and end billions of lives. Saving her may mean risking the galaxy. Letting her go may mean losing the one person who still gives him something worth fighting for.
As alliances fracture, fleets burn, and the truth behind the Desolation begins to surface, Jax must confront a terrible question:
How much can one man sacrifice before there is nothing left of him?
Dark, emotional, and cinematic, Desolation: A Saga of the Year 2290 is a military sci-fi space opera of ancient warships, cosmic horror, impossible choices, and love tested at the edge of annihilation.
