The Cost of Victory: Crimson Worlds 2

The Third Frontier War is raging, and all across human-occupied space worlds are burning. Massive fleets struggle for dominance and kilometer-long ships exchange thermonuclear barrages.

Battered in the early years of the war, the Western Alliance is resurgent. The brilliant Admiral Augustus Garret leads the Alliance fleet from victory to victory, taking the war to the very heart of the enemy empires. And on the ground, Colonel Erik Cain, hero of the Marine Corps, leads his crack troops once again into combat, seeking the final battle.

But wars are decided by more than just the troops in the line, and in the background, the secretive intelligence agencies of the despotic Superpowers plot and scheme, using their own soldiers as pawns in the great game for control of space.

The final battle will be fought in the reddish sands of a backwater world, where the rivalries of the Superpowers are about to become irrelevant, overshadowed by a staggering secret that has lain hidden in a remote cave for untold centuries.

The Powers struggle for the ultimate victory, but at what cost?

The Cost of Victory is the second book in the Jay Allan’s bestselling Crimson Worlds series (over 1,000,000 sold) and the direct sequel to Marines.
