CONQUEST AND EMPIRE is BOOK 5 and the final volume in the Plague Wars: Stellar Conquest series. Over 300 pages.**** (Five Stars) This is probably the best book I read in this series. - Paul M"You can see the battles unfold as if you are right there, and his descriptions of the technicalities of battleships, interstellar travel, and weaponry are clear, concise, and interesting. The characters are genuine, dialogue rings true, and I especially enjoy his 'peoples' from other planetary systems." - Marcia K"Worthy ending to an awesome series." - Niover H.After barely fending off the insectoid Scourge, Admiral Absen frantically prepares for another attack while dealing with politics and treachery from within, even as Spectre pursues his own hidden agenda. Can EarthFleet save humanity once more, and will a bold counterstrike by an elite force of AI-equipped ships buy time, or merely invite disaster?THE PLAGUE WARS SERIESPlague Wars: Decade One- The Eden Plague- Reaper's Run- Skull's Shadows- Eden's Exodus- Apocalypse Austin- Nearest NightPlague Wars: Alien Invasion- The Demon Plagues- The Reaper Plague- The Orion Plague- Cyborg Strike- Comes the Destroyer- Forge and SteelPlague Wars: Stellar Conquest- Starship Conquest- Desolator: Conquest- Tactics of Conquest- Conquest of Earth- Conquest and Empire
