Empires in Ruin Anthony James

Protected by their energy shields, the Lavorix warships Aeklu and Verumol survived the largest explosion ever created by technology. Now salvaged by the Human Planetary Alliance and their new Daklan allies, these once unstoppable weapons of mass destruction sit in a construction yard undergoing extensive repairs. The plan is straightforward - put human and Daklan crews on the stolen Laws of Ancidium and send them against their creators. Captain Carl Recker is chosen to command the Aeklu. Waiting for the refit to be completed should be easy - a chance to put his feet up and recover from the endless fighting. Unfortunately for Recker, the Lavorix want their property back and another planet-destroying spaceship turns up to ruin his day. Caught on the ground in a military base under intense bombardment, Recker must figure out a way to reach his warship and defeat this new opponent. The destruction will be on an unprecedented scale. Even if he succeeds, other Laws of Ancidium remain in enemy hands and together, they present a challenge Recker has no hope of beating. The war against the Lavorix is entering a critical phase and beyond the horizon is the biggest threat of all... Empires in Ruin is a traditional-style science fiction action adventure and the sixth book in the Savage Stars series, following shortly after events in Laws of Ancidium. Expect space combat, ruthless aliens, incredible tech and lots more.
