Shadows of War

 

Jackson finally found a place in the future worth fighting for. Now a coming war threatens to take it all away.

​

Years after William Jackson disappeared from Earth in 2023, the distant future has become something he never expected it could be.

​

Home.

​

But that home is in danger.

​

Tensions between the Galactic Confederation of Humanity and the powerful Insectoid Imperium are escalating, and GCH Command fears that war may be inevitable. Desperate for an advantage, Admiral Valentyen assembles a small team for a highly classified mission: search a series of distant worlds for technology left behind by the Ancient civilization that once ruled the stars.

​

Jackson and Verris join the expedition alongside a handful of specialists who will soon become much more than a team.

Their search leads them deep into the unknown, where buried installations conceal extraordinary technology—and mysteries that have remained untouched for hundreds of thousands of years.

But they aren't the only ones searching.

​

Unknown forces seem to know where Jackson and his team are going. Enemies begin appearing where they shouldn't. And as one dangerous encounter follows another, the mission exacts a devastating personal price.

​

Jackson becomes increasingly convinced that someone is manipulating events from the shadows.

​

Consumed by anger and guilt, he begins questioning everyone around him and becomes determined to uncover the truth—no matter the orders he has to break or the risks he has to take.

What he discovers will pull him deeper into the mystery of the Ancients, expose forces moving unseen across the galaxy, and place him at the center of a conflict rapidly spiraling toward war.

​

And somewhere in the darkness, a secret war is already being waged—one Jackson knows nothing about, but whose consequences are setting him on a collision course with his destiny.

​

The shadows are moving. The first shots are about to be fired. And the war Jackson feared may already have begun.

Legacy: Shadows of War is the third book in the seven-book Legacy series, an epic science-fiction adventure of Ancient ruins, lost technology, alien worlds, found family, starship combat, hidden enemies, and the opening moves of a war that will change the galaxy.
