In the vein of the hit tv program Battlestar Galactica comes Earth Strike-the first book in the action-packed Star Carrier science fiction series by Ian Douglas, writer of the favorite Inheritance, Heritage, and Legacy Trilogies and one of the most adept writers of armed service sf functioning today. Earth Strike rockets readers into a vast and dangerous intergalactic battle, as humankind attempts to lower an evil empire and establish itself as the brand new major power. Supporters of Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers and Joe Haldeman’s The Forever Battle, welcome aboard the Celebrity Carrier!
