Fracture an empire and expose the weakness at its heart …

Rebekah and the crew of the Sunstar are persuaded to transport Senti defensive hardware to the fleets’ battleships by a desperate Countess Segfi. But the Butcher strikes, damaging the airless moonbase on Saim. Despite Rebekah’s instincts screaming it’s a trap, the Wrecking Squad can’t abandon those in need and mount a rescue. But when it snaps shut, thousands die breathless in an instant, a moment the Butcher shares with the Emperor’s Court laced with a threat to the rest of the system’s vulnerable colonies. The price he demands for the Empire’s safety is the Sunstar and the crew’s secret of Faster Than Light Travel.
One ship, one crew, to save billions.
What price for survival?

Where The Expanse and Firefly meet, Emperor’s Fall is the fifth book in the Wrecking Squad series as humanity fights for its future.

One crew, one loyalty and a single shot at redemption.

Captain Rebekah Khan and her ragtag crew of the repair ship Sunstar finally have a chance to pay off their crushing debts when an automining vessel goes rogue. After preventing the high value cargo from disappearing into the outer system, they uncover sabotage only a crew with their military experience would recognise.

Instead of returning as heroes, they are blackmailed into taking on a new crew member and the hunt for a mysterious, uncertified spacecraft. Deep into the black, they desperately try to hide their murky past, while their loyalties are tested to their limits when they finally come across the marooned ship and its deadly cargo.

Featuring the action of Alien: Earth, the camaraderie of the Firefly tv series and the infighting of James S. A. Corey’s The Expanse books, The Wrecking Squad is the new science fiction novel from Nick Snape, author of the highly rated Weapons of Choice series.

A failed military training exercise. An alien incursion, desperate and on the hunt. Survival is just the beginning…

‘This is a moment in time humanity will never forget. Hostile Contact.’★★★★★ Goodreads

Finn had thought he’d seen it all…but no…he had to admit…

Not quite everything…

There was a big universe out there and it was about to land in his lap.

Just how bad could it be?

Finn is a troubled war-hero, overseen by an unyielding Commanding Officer while dragging his group of rookies through basic training. When an alien incursion lands in the middle of a patrol exercise, wielding powerful weapons and alien armour far beyond their own, he is forced to lead the remnants of Delta Squad in a desperate struggle for survival.

Utilising light-reflecting camouflage, the aliens go on the rampage, killing indiscriminately and capturing Finn’s CO before going on the hunt. Outgunned, and with the world’s armed forces helpless to act after a second incursion drops, Delta set out on a desperate rescue mission, only for the aliens to reveal a weapon that could change modern-day warfare forever.

Finding themselves in a battle for Earth’s future, Delta Squad discover the aliens are more than they seem, and that alien technology can be just as deadly in the hands of humanity when they unearth a deadly secret ‒ the Weapons of Choice.

Read Hostile Contact, an action-packed sci-fi survival novel – where ‘Predator’ meets ‘Full Metal Jacket’ in a pulse-pounding, non-stop thrill ride.
