Defiance (Atlantia Series Book 5)
by Dean Crawford
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.
Ambushed in orbit around a lonely planet far from
the Core Systems, the crew of Atlantia realize that the spread of the Legion
across the galaxy is occurring far quicker than any of them could have believed
possible. Unable to stem the flow, they are forced to flee and approach the
Galactic Council for assistance in defeating the Legion. But the Legion is
already aboard Atlantia and threatens to undermine their position, the frigate
a plague ship.
The ultimate democracy, the Oassians who rule the
council are renowned for their diplomacy and aversion to conflict, and their
sector of the galaxy has not seen a fleet action for hundreds of years. Now
Captain Idris Sansin and his crew throw themselves at their mercy, their ships
infected, their crews conflicted and the Legion closing in on them. But the
council is hiding something, and before Idris and his crew can react they find
themselves in the midst of an Oassian plot to build a different kind of
alliance – one with the Legion itself. And humanity is the bait.
