About the book
From the afterlife, a hero's final message has the potential to change the course of a massive interstellar conflict.
Three years post the decisive battle between humanity and the Korilian Empire, the Colonial Defense Forces have made significant progress in reclaiming the lost colonies. However, with the war starting to turn against them once more, Admiral Jon McCarthy and Lara Anderson stumble upon a communication from the deceased Nexus Ten on the ruins of Darian 3. This unexpected revelation opens up the possibility of tipping the scales in humanity's favor against the Korilians.
Accompanied by 2nd Fleet and a Marine Expeditionary Force, Admiral McCarthy and Lara embark on a dangerous mission deep into Korilian territory. Their objective is Hellios, a mysterious planet housing a Korilian facility. As the handpicked Marine platoon delves deeper into the enemy stronghold, the risks grow higher. Yet, it is only when they reach a foreboding chamber at the center of the complex that they encounter something beyond their wildest imagination.
Join Admiral McCarthy and Lara in the thrilling sequel to Nexus House, "Descent into Hellios," penned by renowned author Rick Campbell. Perfect for enthusiasts of sprawling space epics such as Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey and Dune by Frank Herbert, this novel unveils a galaxy where ancient secrets hold the key to either securing humanity's fate or dooming it eternally.
