The origins of the rumor revolve around the dark days of the last war fought on Helios. The prophecy speaks of the return of the 'Great Enemy' that will be signaled by the coming of a burning star, when its beasts and machines will devour entire worlds. Although many see it as no more that a fleeting superstition, the Alliance Senate decides that preemptive measures must be taken to prepare for the return of the Enemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, the revolution on Helios has slowed to a stalemate, worsened by a bloody military coup led by Dictator Lyssk and his private security forces. News that they have turned on the civilian population force the Alliance Senate to act. Yet it is not only the Alliance that has an interest in the events unfolding on Helios. Even as the Senate argues on intervention a large alien fleet with more than twenty capital ships and a substantial fighter escort appears and sets course for the planet. With the Narau fleet of dubious loyalty it falls to the newly formed 4th Heavy Strike Group and the elite 2nd Marine Corps Regiment to save the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12-book Star Crusades series includes:\u003cbr\u003eSTAR CRUSADES UPRISING\u003cbr\u003eSiege of Titan (Star Crusades Uprising, Book 1)\u003cbr\u003eTears of Kerberos (Star Crusades Uprising, Book 2)\u003cbr\u003eFires of Prometheus (Star Crusades Uprising, Book 3)\u003cbr\u003eBattle for Proxima (Star Crusades Uprising, Book 4)\u003cbr\u003eFall of Terra Nova (Star Crusades Uprising, Book 5)\u003cbr\u003eSlaves of Hyperion (Star Crusades Uprising, Book 6)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTAR CRUSADES NEXUS\u003cbr\u003eLegions of Orion (Star Crusades Nexus, Book 1)\u003cbr\u003eMachine Gods (Star Crusades Nexus, Book 2)\u003cbr\u003eHeroes of Helios (Star Crusades Nexus, Book 3)\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Betrayal (Star Crusades Nexus, Book 4)\u003cbr\u003eProphecy of Fire (Star Crusades Nexus, Book 5)\u003cbr\u003eCall to Arms (Star Crusades Nexus, Book 6)\u003cbr\u003eThese titles are also available as combined trilogies including:\u003cbr\u003eSTAR CRUSADES UPRISING: THE FIRST TRILOGY\u003cbr\u003eSTAR CRUSADES UPRISING: THE SECOND TRILOGY\u003cbr\u003eSTAR CRUSADES NEXUS: THE FIRST TRILOGY\u003cbr\u003eSTAR CRUSADES NEXUS: THE SECOND TRILOGY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more information visit the official Star Crusades website.
