When Eli Bryce stumbles upon a plot to attack Earth, he shrugs it off. He's not in the Earth-saving business. Two decades after he was banished from his home-world for a disaster that still haunts him, Eli and his crew of misfits struggle to survive on the outskirts of the galaxy. But when Eli, goaded by his estranged daughter, rescues a near-dead castaway with an impossible secret, everything changes. Eli might have no choice but to get back into the Earth-saving business. Worse, he might have to grow a conscience.

A century ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. Over decades of bitter war, humanity slowly pushed them back. Eighteen months ago, a truce was struck. The aliens disappeared. Humanity stood down. But there are those who will never trust the aliens. The captain of the aging battleship Walker Pierce is one of them. He has spent months in disputed space, against the wishes of his superiors, looking for proof of alien treachery, afraid of what he might find. Because this time, if the aliens return, humanity won't be so lucky.

Eli and the crew of the Boomerang think they finally have a handle on what they're up against. A surprising new revelation shows that things are about to get much worse.

For deep-space bounty hunters Gunn and Salvo, the rules are simple: Always shoot first. Always get paid. Never get curious. But when they run down a teenager linked to the catastrophic loss of a space station, everything about the job feels off. They're used to greedy people lying to them. But scared people who should know better? That's new. So they do the one thing you don't do in their line of work: Ask questions. Before they know it, they have a galaxy-wide bounty on their heads ..and the fate of humanity in their hands.

Money, mutiny, and starships. What seemed like a case of a single corrupt Admiral begins to sprawl out of control. Eli must decide if he's willing to go down the rabbit hole without knowing how deep it goes - or how exposed he and the rest of his crew will become. Damnation! is fast-paced space opera at its best, perfect for fans of golden age pulp stories full of action, drama, and fun!
