The Obsidian Graveyard: An Apocalyptic Space Opera & Military Sci-Fi

By Chet Kone

First Contact Was the Easy Part

The first Mothership was a warning. Seventy-two more are burning through space - and someone on Earth let them through.

Master Sergeant Elias Decker has one mission: keep his family alive. But to do it, he has to strap back into the Mark-X Void-Stalker - a thirty-trillion-dollar war machine that's slowly eating his mind alive. Every second at full neural sync draws a tax he can't afford to pay. Every second he's not in the suit, humanity loses ground it can't get back.

While Elias forges raw civilians into a Ghost Corps strike team, his sixteen-year-old son Jax is buried in a classified bunker, racing to crack the alien hivemind before the armada hits atmosphere. The math is brutal. The window is closing. And buried deep in the telemetry of the first invasion is a truth that could end the war - or prove it was already lost before it started.

Someone unlocked the front gate.

From the scorched desert of White Sands to a last stand at the Asteroid Belt, the Deckers will fight an enemy that can't be bargained with - and a traitor who's already signed their death warrants.

For fans of The Forever War, Ender's Game, and All You Need Is Kill.
