Book Description

Forged in fire, marked by fate The xenos came to devour. Three worlds they took before the Solaran Fleet ground them to a halt. No man, woman and child in the Empire escaped the aftermath. Refugees flooded the core. Interstellar trade routes collapsed. Economies imploded. Some citizens lost their homeworlds. Others, their livelihoods, their families, their friends… But that wasn’t the end. From the ashes of this tragedy, three heroes arose. These are their origin stories—the trials and tribulations which forged the Fleet’s finest starfighter pilots and set them on a path to ultimately save humanity’s future. Starfighter Origins collects three action-packed space opera novellas by M.G. Herron into one spellbinding volume. This collection includes Spare Parts, Raptor, and Operation Heartstrike, set in the Relics of the Ancients universe.
