Into the Black #20
Against the Swarm
While on assignment in Consortium space, the Black Star Navy uncovered evidence of X'thari involvement in the rising tide of ships going missing, instead of it merely being pirates. Meanwhile, the Coldana System went dark, with no news coming in or out, save for Nomad communications. Because of those Nomads, however, it was discovered and relayed to the rest of Known Space that, for the first time since the last X'thari War, a Harvester has been spotted in settled space, and was headed for Coldana. Consortium fleets threw themselves at the Harvester and the massive fleet that surrounded it, hoping to cripple the massive creature. Two whole fleets, destroyed to the last ship, but they managed to hurt the Harvester, though no one knows how badly. Without cover from the fleet, the people of Coldana were left to the mercy of the insectile X'thari.
No one knows the fate of the people left behind on Coldana, but everyone assumes the worst. Now, treaties are being put into effect, as the various signatory nations send ships to band together and fight against a threat that could spell doom for all life in the galaxy, and the Black Star Navy stands with them. But will that be enough?

About the author
Stuart Grosse
233 books211 followersI'm a rookie author, looking to write stories that I enjoy writing. Not gonna get awards, but honestly, I'm happy with each and every person that reads my work.
Stuart is a sci-fi and anime geek, who dabbles in tabletop and video gaming. He enjoys cosplaying and has gone to DragonCon annually since 2009. Frozen Soul is his first book.
It is a sad, sad day when you finally break down and realize that you will never have the life you wanted, never do the things you wished to do, and never see the things you wanted to see. All because of a stupid lack of lightsabers.
I was a 26 y/o college student at Armstrong Atlantic State University, as a theater major. Went to school for a while before, dropped out, tried to go back, dropped out.. Not much to say other than the fact that I'm a laid back guy, and the only drama I like is the kind that's on the stage.
If I act like an idiot, or do anything to offend you, chances are it is not intentional, and I'm being oblivious. In that case, hit me upside the head, and tell me, because I don't catch subtle hints.

Solid work, can’t wait for the next!
Stuart Grosse, you hooligan. How could you hit us with a cliffhanger like that! It was bigger than Mirikon Mollen when he’s getting some sweet tail!

The big fight
Who doesn’t love a good old fashioned naval dust up? Outside of games like EVE, Homeworld and other space RTS games this is possibly on of if not the biggest naval action in science fiction. Well worth the reading at any rate.
