The Sentient Void: United Earth Systems Book 1, (Paperback)

Captain Tyler Shepard survived the destruction of the Valhalla, but he didn't escape it. Now, command of the Ragnarok offers him a chance at redemption--if the ship doesn't consume him first. The Ragnarok is no ordinary vessel; its sentient lattice armor is powered by the trauma of its pilot, and it's manifesting the ghostly tactical advice of Tyler's dead mentor. <p>As Tyler's body begins to reflect the ship's alien geometry, he must navigate a war where his own grief is the fuel. But he isn't the only one interested in the ship's 'suffering-based' tech. The Silent Galbraith, a high-ranking commander who views Tyler's pain as a holy grail, is hunting them through the Deep Silver. To the Galbraith, the Ragnarok isn't a weapon to be destroyed--it's a harvest to be claimed. </p><p>While Chief Medical Officer Brandi St. Claire fights to save Tyler's soul from the ship's parasitic embrace, Tyler must face a devastating choice: embrace the ghosts of his past to save the future, or lose himself to the lattice forever. In a galaxy that thrives on fear, can one man's controlled fury turn the tide? </p><p>Valhalla Falling is a gripping military science fiction epic about the cost of survival and the heavy weight of the ghosts we carry. Perfect for fans of character-driven space opera and psychological suspense.</p>
