Stellar Conquest Series by David VanDyke

When an enormous and potent alien ship appears in the colony system of Gliese 370, EarthFleet must investigate. What they find within will change the course of humanity's future yet again, as they face Desolator. The risks are high and so is the price - and the payoff: new technology far ahead of their own, which may provide the key to fight the Meme Empire.

Armed with alien technology and a complete refit, Henrich Absen captains Conquest on a voyage to take back what humanity has lost. Along the way he must confront a new form of life as well as his own demons in this shocking episode of the Plague Wars/Stellar Conquest saga.

Poised to reconquer humanity's home, Captain Absen and Conquest are confronted with a new enemy that upsets the balance of power and changes everything EarthFleet expected. Their struggle to free Earth becomes instead a desperate battle for sheer survival as they contemplate the unthinkable.
