Upon the lonely moors of Scotland a youth is stabbed to death while investigating mysterious lights in the night sky. When police capture his killer they make a startling discovery: he speaks nothing but medieval English and his blood carries DNA that matches samples from the 15^th Century. Hours later, amid more strange lights, the man vanishes from within a locked police cell, never to be seen again.

     In the United States, the CIA is being held to ransom. Perfectly focussed images of Unidentified Flying Objects are being sent to Langley with a demand: provide full disclosure of what the government knows about UFOs or these images will go public.

     Struggling with the task of identifying the perpetrators of the images, and aware that they must somehow know when and where UFOs will appear, the CIA sends General Scott Mackenzie in search of Ethan Warner and Nicola Lopez, the only known former US agents with the skills to track down the perpetrator. His mission; obtain the technology that is allowing someone to predict when and where UFOs will appear and ensure that nobody else can access it.

     But as the investigation unfolds, so Ethan and Nicola learn that the Russians are also seeking the same technology. As a race against time develops to get the upper hand, victims of strange abduction events implore the government for help, including the parents of a seven-year-old girl who is suffering seizures and post-traumatic stress from her experiences.

     From the Indian Ocean to the lonely deserts of Utah, Scotland to Nevada, Ethan and Nicola discover the startling truth about alien abductions and UFO sightings, and realise that full disclosure isn’t about UFOs at all: the knowledge the CIA possesses will change the course of human history…

The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and crewed by an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians determined to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind.

Pursuing a Veng’en cruiser toward home, the Atlantia enters Chiron, an uncharted frontier system orbiting a dying star. Seeking supplies, the crew deploy to the small world of Chiron IV, hoping to replenish their dwindling stocks before continuing their journey.

But Chiron IV harbours unseen dangers – a flotilla of corsairs, privateers and escaped convicts amassing a fleet of their own. Caught between the unruly brigands on Chiron IV and the forces of the Legion beyond the system, and with many crew taken hostage on the surface, Captain Idris Sansin must thwart the pirates and defend the Atlantia.

With a crew tired of conflict, violence and drug-abuse afflicting the civilians and the pirate’s plan to flee the cosmos tempting even the strongest minds to reconsider their future with the Atlantia, the captain finds himself facing the greatest crisis of his command – the break-up of what little remains of humanity…

Aggressor is the third volume of the Atlantia series from internationally best-selling author Dean Crawford, is DRM free and is 100,000 words in length.

A civilisation destroyed. A species doomed to wander the cosmos. A lone survivor feared by all, her voice silenced and her face veiled behind a metal mask.

The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity, a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and haunted by escaped convicts threatening the survival of her beleaguered crew and civilians.

Trapped in orbit around a foreign world, damaged and low on supplies, the crew of the Atlantia are forced to make a deal with the devil to forge an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians in a last-ditch attempt to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind.

Humanity’s last stand begins here, and only one woman stands between annihilation and our future…
