From beyond her grave, a hero's final transmission could turn the tide of a galactic war.
Three years after humanity's Final Stand against the Korilian Empire, the Colonial Defense Forces have largely reclaimed the lost colonies. However, as the tide of war shifts against the Colonies again, Admiral Jon McCarthy and Lara Anderson discover a message from a long-dead prescient Nexus Ten amid the ruins of Darian 3. This startling discovery creates the potential to alter the course of the war with the Korilians, tilting the outcome toward humanity's favor.
Admiral McCarthy and Lara accompany 2nd Fleet and a Marine Expeditionary Force on a mission deep inside Korilian territory. Their target is Hellios, a dark planet hosting a Korilian facility shrouded in mystery. The mission to penetrate and neutralize the complex is perilous, and as a handpicked Marine platoon descends through each level, the stakes escalate. But when they reach a dark chamber in the heart of the enemy stronghold, no one is prepared for what they find.
Explore the gripping Nexus House sequel, Descent into Hellios, from bestselling author Rick Campbell. Ideal for fans of epic space sagas like James S.A. Corey's Leviathan Wakes and Frank Herbert's Dune, this novel unveils a universe where secrets of the past fuel a mission that could either secure humanity's future or doom it forever.
