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.
