Description
A gargantuan, horseshoe-shaped ship appears over the mining planet Shanmen, unleashing a black rain of death that creates Xenomorph-like monsters worse than the darkest of nightmares.
As war rages among the colonies, a huge ship appears over the UPP mining planet Shanmen, unleashing a black rain of death that yields hideous transformations.
Monstrous creatures swarm the colony, and rescue is too far away to arrive in time. The survivors are forced to seek shelter in the labyrinth of tunnels deep beneath the surface. Already the grave to so many, these shafts may become the final resting place for all who remain.
Hope appears in the form of the vessel Righteous Fury. It carries the Jackals-an elite mix of Colonial Marines led by Zula Hendricks. Faced with a horde of grotesque mutations, the Jackals seek to rescue the few survivors from the depths of the planet. But have they arrived too late?
BONUS FEATURE: An exclusive new game scenario based on the massively popular, award-winning Alien RPG from Free League Publishing!

Reviews / Votes
Praise for the Book of the Order Novels by Philippa Ballantine:"I really enjoy this author's work! She's pretty much on my must-buy list..." -Felicia Day
"With each new work, she surpasses herself and in the process proves that she is the real deal. Her new book, Spectyr, the second in The Order series, is a fine example of genre mixing done right." -Geek Life
"The characters are solid and the moments of the book that deal with their interactions are where this book truly shines." -Blogcritics.com
"She weaves this amazing story like gossamer where we see this richly complex world that has all of these opposing forces battling against the characters, keeping them from each other in many ways while they really yearn to be together as they struggle through storm after storm, of whatever is coming." -Snarky Mamma
"Ms. Ballantine delivers. Again. Her writing grabs you in a way that is visceral. It hits early. It hits repetitively. It hits hard. No cheap shots are taken. None are needed. You see, Ms. Ballantine knows how to write characters that make you care."-View from Valhalla
"[A] richly detailed world and wonderfully realized characters." -New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh
"Absolutely not to be missed."-National bestselling author Barb Hendee
