Exodus: Machine War Series by Doug Dandridge

Exodus: Machine Wars: Book 1: Supernova is the launch of a new chapter in the Saga. Not all the action occurs on the main front. Space is too big for that kind of restriction. The Klassekians are a gifted race, with an ability which could help the Empire in its war against the Ca'cadasans. Just entering space, the species is still torn apart by religious and nationalistic schisms. They are on the verge of a nuclear war. And that is the least of their problems... moreExodus: Machine Wars: Book 1: Supernova is the launch of a new chapter in the Saga. Not all the action occurs on the main front. Space is too big for that kind of restriction. The Klassekians are a gifted race, with an ability which could help the Empire in its war against the Ca'cadasans. Just entering space, the species is still torn apart by religious and nationalistic schisms. They are on the verge of a nuclear war. And that is the least of their problems. For six light months from their star system is a blue giant, and the timer on its life is just about to hit zero. Exploration Command ships discover the civilization, and it is soon apparent that this is one that needs saving. But saving the six billion people on the planet is a daunting task, especially with a killing wave of radiation a year and a half away, six months after the blue giant explodes. And one of the main religious factions of the planet sees their destruction as a cause for celebration, the return of their God. Now the humans must not only battle time, but the politics and religious fanaticism of a fatalistic people who do not desire rescue, and are determined to stop those who do. Add to this the mysterious alien artifacts that rise from surface to above the atmosphere, and the mission becomes interesting in the most hazardous manner. And in the darkness, wait things that humanity thought they were well rid of, probing the human fleet, and threatening the great Empire base at Bolthole. less

The Imperial Fleet is now on the edge of Machine space, ready to get rid of the things they thought they had killed centuries before The Gorgansha are happy to have the humans as allies against the death machines. The humans aren't so sure about their new allies, who remind them of the Cacas more than anything. Admirals Beata Bednarczyk and Mara Montgomery already have their hands full battling the massive killing machines... moreThe Imperial Fleet is now on the edge of Machine space, ready to get rid of the things they thought they had killed centuries before The Gorgansha are happy to have the humans as allies against the death machines. The humans aren't so sure about their new allies, who remind them of the Cacas more than anything. Admirals Beata Bednarczyk and Mara Montgomery already have their hands full battling the massive killing machines. The Machines have recently discovered the secret of hyper VII, putting them on an even level with the humans in propulsion tech. And with their ability to quickly manufacture themselves, they could prove to be too much. Now the Imperials have an ally they can't stand, but who they need to fight a successful campaign. While the Machines open a new gambit striking at the very heart of the Empire, and continue their campaign against the newest alien members of the Empire, the Klassekians. The Emperor was counting on this being a minor war, but things might be getting out of hand. The saga continues, as intelligent war machines try to wipe out all life they can locate, and beleaguered organics attempt to stop them. Scroll up and grab a copy today. less
