The Belt Loop (Book Three) - End of an Empire

The Belt Loop saga continues with the Colonial Navy and ships of the Varson Empire engaged in pitched battles for supremacy in the Orion-Cygnus arm of the Milky Way. The Varson strongman has developed a new weapon, a Planet Killer, and his plan is to use it on all of the Colonial worlds, destroying planet after planet until his swath of destruction reaches its final destination: Mother Earth. Uri Haad, wearing his first star as a Fleet Admiral, pulls out all the stops in an effort to foil the Varson madman. Haad's former Executive Officer Davi Yorn, at the helm of the refurbished Corpus Christi fast-attack boat, helps Admiral Haad meet the Varson threat head on but will it be enough? The Colonial Navy faces new threats to the Admiralty, diminished resources, weary battles of attrition, and continuing threats of destruction from within their own ranks. Will there be enough time to save the Colonial Alliance of Planets and stop the Varson incursion? Only time will tell, and the Colonial Navy is down to its last minute.
