"Trapped aboard the crippled starship Erebus, spiraling toward the crushing grip of a black hole, Inspector Layton Trent and his team face oblivion. Their only hope? A desperate alliance with the ship's renegade crew. Bitter enemies must work together, or they'll vanish into the abyss.
But survival comes at a price. When Erebus finally breaks free, they emerge 20,000 years in the future to a desolate galaxy.
Entire civilizations are extinct.
Humanity is gone.
An overwhelming, enigmatic force has swept across the stars, consuming entire worlds to fuel its relentless expansion. The last remnants of intelligent life have fled toward the galactic core, desperate to escape annihilation. With no way back and an unstoppable enemy hunting them, Layton and his crew have only one choice, to follow the survivors into the unknown.
What begins as a desperate flight soon becomes something far greater.
From the ruins of a dying galaxy to the final flickers of existence itself, Layton and his crew will push beyond the boundaries of time and space, searching for answers—about the force that hunts them, the fate of those who came before, and the ultimate mystery of what lies beyond the end of everything."
"A Rain of Fire: The dark forces of the Neo Hegemony strike, sweeping across the worlds of the Arcadian sector and crushing all in their path.
One system stands against the onslaught: the Kingdom of New Avalon. But the men and women of their expeditionary forces are trapped behind enemy lines on a besieged planet. Losing those troops will lose the war. Their only hope? A last ditch rescue mission led by Captain Hal Cutter and his battleship, Achilles.
Titan's Vengeance: The Reach. A vast barren tract of space lying between the besieged stars of the Kingdom of New Avalon and their distant allies. And it is the latest battlefield in the war burning across the void.
Admiral Valin Sarven of the Hegemony fleet is as cunning as he is ruthless. A master tactician commanding the most powerful vessel in space, the battleship Behemoth. He is dispatched into the Reach with a single goal: to sever the long, tenuous supply lines linking the Kingdom to the Liberty Federation.
A Relentless Fury: One after another, the Kingdom's star bases have fallen before the New Hegemony and their coalition. Only one remains in the strategically vital Talos Rift: Valestra."
"Endeavor
Since we first looked at the stars, there has been a silence, no signs of alien life, and no one who has tried to speak to us. It is an enigma that a long dead scientist called: The Fermi Paradox.
'Where are they?' A brave crew will take humanity's first Starship, Endeavour, on an epic journey that spans light years and centuries to solve this mystery. As Commander Tom Hites and his crew searches amid long abandoned worlds and ancient relics, the question they seek to answer becomes: 'Where are they now?'
Erebus
The sparsely populated moon, Io, is destroyed in a terrorist attack. Hundreds are dead in the cataclysmic explosion. Thousands become refugees as the shattered remnants of the moon threaten the Jupiter Alliance. Billions throughout the solar system are wondering, 'Where next?'
Those responsible must be found and brought to justice. The explorer ship Erebus is reassigned from its mission and sent to Jupiter to investigate this atrocity with Trent's international team onboard. And what Trent discovers among the relics of the alien Sleeping Gods will change humanity's place in the universe forever."
