Heroes of Helios is the third book in the epic new series set in
the Star Crusades universe that chronicles humanity's first steps
away from Alpha Centauri and beyond. A strike group of the dozen
most advanced ships in the Alliance is assembled and sent to a
summit of the remaining great powers of Orion. It is a measure of
the reputation and military prowess of humanity that they are to be
allowed to participate in joint exercises with the Naru Navy, a
combined military force made up of ships from the five alien
empires. At the same time a diplomatic mission lands on the surface
of the planet to meet with the leaders in the Helion Council. The
heart of this strike group is ANS Conqueror, the first
battlecruiser to be constructed since the destruction of CCS
Crusader in the Great Uprising. In a shocking move, the ship is
attacked with overwhelming force while orbiting Helios and is sent
crashing through the world's atmosphere and down toward the urban
sprawl that is populated by billions of citizens. As the hulk
plummets down, it starts a diplomatic incident that could ignite
hostilities between people that have so recently called each other
friends. Light years away from the politics and strife of Helios
lies a fleet of ships with a Biomech command ship and its cargo of
tortured prisoners. Some of these poor souls have been trapped
there for months while others for much, much longer. Deep within
this ship is a single prison cell that holds a man who dreams of
escape and vengeance against those that seek to break him. Star
Crusades Nexus is a classic work of realistic military science
fiction set against the background of the Centauri Alliance's
expansion into the Orion Nebula. Also available is the prequel
series, 'Star Crusades Uprising' set two decades earlier and covers
the events of the Great Uprising that brought humanity to the brink
of destruction.
