Description
Fleet of Knives is the second book in Gareth L. Powell's critically acclaimed Embers of War space opera series. The story follows the former warship Trouble Dog and her crew as they respond to a distress call from the human starship Lucy's Ghost. The crew of the Lucy's Ghost has taken refuge on an abandoned generation ship launched ten thousand years ago by an alien race, but the vessel holds deadly secrets of its own. As the Trouble Dog and her crew fight to save the crew of the Lucy's Ghost, they find themselves caught between chaotic alien monsters and the destruction caused by the Marble Armada, a massive fleet enforcing the peace with overwhelming force. The ship's captain, Ona Sudak, is forced to confront the consequences of her own past actions. With its unique blend of action, adventure, and science fiction, Fleet of Knives is a gripping and intense read that explores the complexities of war, loyalty, and survival in a desperate bid for survival.
