THE OBSIDIAN ARMADA
A Galactic War Science Fiction NovelBy Nova Rift
Length7h 49m
About this audiobook
The war was built on a lie. Now, survival demands an impossible alliance.
After surviving his dreadnought’s destruction, Commander Kaelen Vance expects death from the biomechanical Obsidian Swarm. Instead, the alien armada halts its assault to deliver a terrifying warning: they aren't invaders, but refugees fleeing a stellar extinction wave heading for Earth.
Worse, Earth’s High Command knew all along, sacrificing billions in the Outer Rim to buy time. Branded a traitor after uncovering the conspiracy, Vance must rally a fractured crew, a rogue AI, and a rebel admiral to expose the truth.
Their only hope lies in the Dyson Remnant—an ancient megastructure capable of shielding the galaxy. But activating it requires an unprecedented alliance between sworn enemies before corrupt leaders doom them all.
An explosive military space opera packed with fleet combat, cosmic threats, and high-stakes strategy.
