The War of Doom has begun. The Karacknid Empire has conquered the Mindus civilization and forced the Varanni Alliance and Human fleets to retreat. Those who have fought the Karacknids face to face now know what the future holds. With time running out, the free peoples in the Karacknids’ line of sight must prepare for the coming invasion.

Returning to Human space, James brings word of the looming Karacknid threat. Met with suspicion and distrust, he is compelled to do everything he can to force the UN to take the Karacknids seriously. The cost of his actions on his career, family and future will be immense.

Even then, the Karacknids will not allow themselves to be turned away. At the Battle of Jaranna the Humans proved themselves to be a thorn in the side of the Karacknid fleet. A thorn they intend to pull out and burn up in the fires of their war machine.


Empire’s Doom is the eighth book in the Empire Rising series and opens up the War of Doom story arc that will see James, Suzanna, Gupta and the others thrust into the greatest war for survival humanity has ever faced.
