The Chronicle of the Final Light

Avery Shetty joined the Marines to pay for his engineering degree. It meant leaving behind the woman of his dreams. Now it might mean losing his life.

When an ancient alien threat rises, Avery finds himself on the front line of a war he can’t understand, facing a relentless and merciless enemy. What had been an attempt to create a peaceful galactic union becomes a desperate gambit for survival.

This struggle could destroy more than his dreams—it could be the end of the human race.

If you’re a fan of epic tales of action, intrigue, and war, then you’ll love Forge of Empire, the first book in The Chronicle of the Final Light series.

When the front line collapses, Private Avery Shetty finds himself isolated behind Oranian positions. Cut off, close to collapse, and low on supplies, he’s just another forgotten member of the failed planetary defense force. Any hope of rescue starts with sneaking past the Oranian war machines hunting down survivors.

But the ground war isn’t the only element of the conflict. If the combined fleet can’t stand against the Oranians’ unstoppable dreadnoughts, there will be no escape from the doomed planet.

There’s only one chance for Avery, and time is running out.

Fans of tales of action, intrigue, and strife will love Sudden Strike, book two in The Chronicle of the Final Light series.

Private Avery Shetty always saw war as horrific, but the life of the prisoner proves even worse. Torture, abuse, terror—the Oranian conquerors have no humanity. Worse, they may not even be the greatest threat.

As bad as things are on Ferekon, the ripples of the failed military campaign spread throughout the Kedraalian Republic. While Shetty and his comrades suffer, violence and instability undermine the very reason they fight.

With support for the Marines collapsing, Shetty’s only hope for survival is himself.

The vast, action-packed tale of military science fiction and space opera continues in Breakout, book three in The Chronicle of the Final Light series.

While Private Avery Shetty guides a small group of Galactic League soldiers to rescue, the overstretched Kedraalian Republic military faces other challenges. The disastrous campaign against the Oranians exposes the vulnerabilities of the unprepared fleet and distracts everyone from the real threat: the corrupt prime minister.

Thanks to enemies old and new, the great experiment that had been the human republic faces collapse. Only heroes willing to question long-held beliefs and stand against impossible odds have any hope of victory.

As a Marine, Shetty refuses to abandon his comrades or to forget his duties, but the struggle traps many noble warriors.

As Shetty fights for his life, the war for Ferekon sees a new twist, with the Anirii revealing their true nature and designs.

With the diminished combined Kedraalian and League fleet at its most vulnerable, only the strong of will can bring humanity and its allies out of the darkness.
