The galaxy is coming apart. Even after the devastating events in the Meccrace system, the personal and professional losses felt by operative Elm Caden are nothing compared to the threat now looming over humanity. All across the many worlds entire colonies have fallen silent. The rumours speak of a phenomenon called The Falling, and mighty, mysterious ships now travel Imperial Combine space with impunity. After such serious losses at Meccrace, Caden must rally new allies in his quest to uncover the truth about the mysterious enemy force he has named 'Voice'. But Voice's plans are already well underway, and not just on the many worlds of the Imperial Combine. While fleets engage each other furiously, armies clash, and planets are invaded, Elm Caden will begin to discover that the powers arrayed against humanity are like nothing he has encountered before... Following the unexpected and heart-wrenching climax of List of the Dead , this third volume in R. Curtis Venture's breakout series has a lot to live up to. In this episode perspectives are shifted, secrets revealed, and characters challenged, in the same emotionally vivid fashion that has defined this uniquely engaging series since the beginning. With its signature realism and heart-pounding action sequences, The Ravening Deep takes the characters established in the first two books and throws them head-first into a war which could devastate humanity.
