A ruthless usurper. A rebellion’s spark. One chance to reclaim the stars.

Evan and Anya refuse to back down as Rostov’s regime tightens its chokehold, purging dissidents across the Commonwealth. But as evidence of Rostov’s atrocities spreads, the core worlds rally to disrupt the enemy’s grip.

Leading the rebellion from the shadows, Evan and Anya strike Syndicate outposts with daring raids to arm the oppressed. But with a fight on multiple fronts, Roman’s inside connections could make all the difference—if he can be trusted.

As every victory draws Rostov’s wrath closer, Evan and Anya are on the verge of finally getting answers about the Korani. However, evidence mounts that the fate of the alien civilization may be inextricably tied to the Commonwealth’s own future.

With cities burning, can Evan and Anya topple the regime’s power in time to prepare for the mounting galactic threat?

Last Stand is the thrilling fourth installment in the Starship of the Ancients series. If you like action-packed space adventures with alien tech, dynamic characters, and interstellar intrigue, then you’ll love this immersive space opera by author A.K. DuBoff, creator of the Cadicle Universe.

Shipwrecked on a distant planet. Mysterious alien relics. His fresh start just turned into an interstellar conspiracy.

After an undercover investigation goes bad, ex-soldier Evan hopes to forge a new life on a remote colony world. But when the transport ship explodes in orbit, his plans for a peaceful early retirement go out the airlock.

He crash-lands with a small group of settlers, away from the target site and with limited resources. Unable to call for help off-world, Evan and the mission’s xenobiologist Anya race for survival in the dangerous wilds—until they realize they aren’t alone on the planet.

Evan’s investigative instincts tell him that nothing about this colony mission going awry is an accident. When evidence points to an ancient alien starship hidden somewhere on the planet, he realizes that solving the mystery will be the biggest case of his life.

Can Evan survive the hostile planet long enough to uncover the truth?
