Description
Book Three of the Central Imperium Series: The saga continues as war and betrayal threaten the fate of civilization.
The galaxy is burning and civilization is on the edge of collapse.
Emperor Daniel Hankerson is fighting to hold the Central Imperium together as enemies close in from every direction. The ruthless New Protectorate and their genetically engineered armies threaten to wipe out everything he’s sworn to protect. With his empire crumbling from within, Daniel must form unlikely alliances with alien warriors and navigate a maze of political intrigue, where betrayal can come from anyone.
At his side is Hila Eban, a deadly Omega operative whose enhanced abilities make her both a powerful weapon and Daniel’s greatest vulnerability. As the brutal Ralgar clans threaten to tip the balance of power, and ancient bioweapons poison entire species, Daniel and Hila must decide who they can trust and what they are willing to sacrifice for survival.
From palace coups and shattering space battles to underground cities and the thrones of tyrants, Defenders of Civilization blends political intrigue with explosive military action. This epic tale explores loyalty, rebellion, and the true cost of saving humanity.
Some prices are too high. Some sacrifices are too great. But civilization must survive.
