Science Fiction

The last time the Intrepid Force fought Gaith Corbalew there were only four survivors out of a team of twenty-two, but they had beaten him. They had broken the back of his interplanetary regime and imprisoned its leader.

Ten years later Gaith Corbalew was freed from prison by an unknown enemy using a nightmarish technology unknown to late twenty-first century science. Bound by a promise, three of the four Intrepid Force survivors assembled a new team, trained them, and outfitted them with cutting edge weaponry. In the first months of the young team's existence they faced a mysterious cult in the swamps of Louisiana, fought computer generated shadows in a terrifying virtual reality world, and faced Gaith Corbalew's army in a battle for the lives of 25,000 colonists on Venus. And that was only the beginning.

The adventures of the Intrepid Force continue in this second volume of the series. The attack on Venus Base had been stopped. Corbalew's plan had been defeated, but that was only beginning. With only a single ship outfitted with nightmarish technology unknown to late 21st century science, Corbalew had been able to destroy Venus's defenses in a matter of minutes. Now an armada of these ships has surrounded the Earth and rendered planetary defenses useless. Still weary and healing from their last battle, the Intrepid Force struggles to understand the mystery of the phantom fleet and, if possible, to find a weakness. Who or what is Gogue, the mysterious warlord who leads the invasion? He claims to be the Antichrist, a figure from Christian prophecy, but is he really? Aided by Neema, a young woman who claims to have come from a dark and terrible future, the Intrepid Force works to unravel the mystery and free their world before Neema's future becomes their own reality.
