Prosecutor of Metalhaven is book #2 of the Metal and Blood series, a cross between The Running Man and Star Wars: Andor. It’s a story of struggle and rebellion against the backdrop of a planet ruined by cataclysmic war. If you love dystopian, post-apocalyptic stories like Wool and Red Rising, coupled with the action and imagination of Star Wars, you’ll love it.

With Morphus still absent on her mysterious expedition, a surprise request from an old ally sets the star scavengers on a path to developing a new weapon against Goliath. And it sees them doing what they do best–hunting for crystals of power inside alien wrecks.

With both Morphus and Goliath travelling the galaxy, each looking for a way to defeat the other, the star scavengers, Hudson Powell and Tory Bellona, find themselves alone and fighting for their lives. Still licking their wounds after the events on Caccini Two, they are left with no time to recover before the Council arrive to repay Hudson and Tory for the trouble they’ve caused. On the run, with bounties on their heads both from the crime consortium and the Children of Goliath, led by Hudson’s long-time adversary, Logan Griff, they are forced to hide out inside the Revocaters.

Still desperate to find Liberty Devan, Hudson Powell travels to a new portal world: Chrome One. Illegally claimed by the Relic Guardian Force, Hudson senses Logan Griff’s involvement. If he can find his scumbag former training officer then maybe he can find Liberty and the crystal too. Meanwhile, Morphus travels to a powerful alien relic called the Telescope in order to learn the location of Goliath. But without the alien crystal, stolen by Logan Griff, there is no hope of defeating the great ship.

Having witnessed the seemingly unconquerable power of the Progenitors first hand, Commander Reeves and Major Kane have an opportunity to tilt the balance of war in their favor. And they intend to take it, no matter the risk or the cost. Despite the setback at the Progenitor world, Reeves is determined to find the "smoking gun" that proves the Sa’Nerra are acting under the influence of an ancient power. Only then can he unite the realms against their enemy. But in order to achieve this, Reeves must pierce the veil of Shadow Space and discover the true scale of the alien armada.

The Regents of Zavetgrad are the key to breaking the Authority’s grip over the city, but the pompous aristocrats keep themselves safely hidden in their sub-oceanic villas. Capturing them will be Finn’s toughest test yet. No-one in history has ever penetrated their underwater domain. Even before that daring mission can begin, Finn and the Metals must work to secure Metalhaven in the face of a vengeful enemy that has fortified its position. The possibility of a counterattack is real, and with a familiar face in charge of the Authority sector, Finn must watch his step–and his back.

The rebellion has suffered a heart-breaking setback, but Finn Brasa remains determined to crush the Authority once and for all. To achieve that, he must reach Nimbus, the space citadel in orbit where President Gideon Alexander Reznikov maintains ultimate power and control. Unfortunately, Spacehaven is still under Authority control, and dozens of titanic rockets are preparing for a mass evacuation, taking the last of Earth’s precious resources into orbit. Once the last rocket has departed, Zavetgrad faces nuclear annihilation.

Ihre Mission hatte keinen klaren Zweck, keinen Auftrag, um etwas Bestimmtes zu finden und schon gar nicht die Wahrheit. An der Spitze des Weltraum-Aufklärungsteams, das von der Erde entsandt wurde, steht Captain Taylor Ray, um in den unendlichen Weiten der Galaxie nach Anzeichen der Hedalt zu suchen, jener längst besiegten außerirdischen Feinde der Menschheit.

All pretenses of diplomacy have crumbled, and Concord is no longer considered neutral territory. The Imperator is coming, and he intends to reduce the station to dust, forcing Commander Reeves to order an emergency evacuation. But old enemies linger on in the background. Not only must Reeves contend with the Sa’Nerra, but a final showdown with the Lord of Night appears inevitable, and the crime kingpin will stop at nothing to get his revenge. Meanwhile, the Sa’Nerra have invaded Bastion Federation space with thousands of warships and near-unlimited reserves.

Finally possessing the ability to enter the Progenitors’ shadow realm, Commander Reeves and Major Kane embark on a daring mission into the heart of enemy territory. However, en route they must detour to the Quarr planet of Vroxxa, which is under Sa’Nerran occupation. There they will learn the true horrific purpose of the "atmosphere acclimators" the aliens have installed on dozens of worlds. They will also discover the sickening depth of the Sa’Nerran’s cruelty, forcing Reeves to again confront his dark side.

Die Nimrod-Flotte ist bereit für den Kampf, doch am Vorabend des Krieges taucht ein neuer furchterregender Feind auf, der alles, wofür Captain Taylor Ray gekämpft hat, bedroht. Oberprobst Kagan führt eine gewaltige Hedalt-Armada an, die unaufhaltsam auf Captain Ray und seine Nimrod-Flotte zusteuert. Die Übermacht ist überwältigend und scheint unbesiegbar.

Die Flotte ist bereit für den bevorstehenden Krieg, aber es fehlen noch mutige BesatzungenTrotz aller Schwierigkeiten haben Captain Taylor Ray und sein Team die gefährlichen Racketeers erfolgreich überlistet und sind dem furchterregenden Hedalt-Militärführer, Probstin Adra, entkommen, um die lebenswichtige Technologie zu beschaffen, die sie für ihre Mission dringend brauchen.

Captain Taylor Ray ist immer noch fassungslos über die Enthüllungen zur Hedalt-Bedrohung, doch er hat zumindest eine neue Verbündete gefunden: Commander Sarah Sonner. Gemeinsam müssen sie einen waghalsigen Raubüberfall planen, um ein wichtiges Stück Schwarzmarkttechnologie von einer stark bewachten Zwischenstation zu stehlen. Ohne diese Technologie haben Captain Ray und seine Crew keine Chance, die Notfallflotte aufzustellen und sich gegen die Hedalt zu verteidigen.

An der Spitze des Weltraum-Aufklärungsteams, das von der Erde entsandt wurde, steht Captain Taylor Ray, um in den unendlichen Weiten der Galaxie nach Anzeichen der Hedalt zu suchen, jener längst besiegten außerirdischen Feinde der Menschheit. Niemand erwartet wirklich, dass sie etwas Bedeutendes entdecken, denn das ist bislang noch niemandem gelungen. Nach Jahrzehnten der Jagd nach den Überresten der Hedalt über Lichtjahre hinweg, sind nur noch verlassene Geister-Stützpunkte übrig – längst vergessene Außenposten einer seit langem untergegangenen Zivilisation.
