Affliction

Throughout the galaxy, the Corolla Wars are raging...and the enemies of the Genesian people have developed a terrifying new weapon. The Genesians are now fully engaged in the Deimer’s war against humanity. While they fight for their right to exist, and for their freedom, the Deimers continue on their quest to annihilate mankind. But humanity has no plans to simply allow the androids and their Genesian allies to exterminate them. The Perseus Union, in conjunction with Lakshmi-Kitai Incorporated, develops a deadly new illegal weapon… one specially designed to destroy the Deimer alliance’s strongest warriors, the Genesians, and one that violates the very precepts of human decency. Aiden Thorn, de facto ambassador of the Genesian people and a Phalanx Leader in the Genesis Self-Defense forces, has sworn to defend his people, and to do everything in his power to find them a home planet of their own and a lasting peace. But when humanity attacks with its horrible new weapon, Aiden finds himself one of the very first casualties. The tide of the Corolla Wars has shifted. With their very existence threatened, can Aiden and his people prevail? Or will they be wiped out by the very governments they once served?

Aiden, Cray O’Neil, Soren Ten, Liz and the rest return in this exciting fourth entry in the ongoing Android Wars series from USA Today best-selling authors J.N. Chaney and Jonathan Brazee, and author Thomas Webb. If you're a fan of gritty military sci-fi action and characters who refuse to quit, you'll love this series.
