Some of you might have seen a little short story that I put out through Wargate Nova a few weeks ago.
Well, the main story has now begun.
A “Peacekeeping” Mission That Might Be Anything But
Lieutenant Bannon and his phalanx of Corvanite warriors have already seen some of the worst that the irregular war between the reptilian otuchans and the human latecomers can offer.
Or so they think.
First Sergeant Draven, trying to hold his company of Zolarian citizen soldiers together, has been on the desolate planet of Zhogalgan longer than Bannon. He’s seen even more.
Yet while they are both there as peacekeepers, they are not there to help each other.
Spheres of influence and empires clash, on a dry, harsh world that might become the flashpoint in an interstellar war!
So begins a new military science fiction series, in a universe that I hope to explore at great length in the years to come.
Get Spheres of Influence, Book 1 of Edge of Imperium, on ebook or paperback.
Audio is coming on August 27. Check out a preview here:
This series is the first in a universe that I’ve been working on for a long time, even before the original Task Force Desperate and the American Praetorians series. I hope you’ll join me on this trip into a galaxy at war.
Peter Nealan has not let me down yet so I will give this a go.
I like the idea; explore different aspects of a setting with different characters and stories. Peacekeeping and rules of engagement appear to be a terribly important and frequently frustrating aspect of modern warfare (at least in the civillised world, for the rest they seem to be something to be manipulated and ‘weaponised’) so they sound an interesting thing to explore.I
Bring it on Peter!
Almost done with it and super pumped. One of your best works yet Peter. Your writing style has come a long way since Unity Wars, and that’s saying something because I enjoyed that series also. The added authenticity and your attention to detail from being a combat vet shows in all of your books. The world building is believable and drew me in from the start. I also like the subtle but genuine political reflection in describing the various services and their culture… absolutely on “point” and could apply to many armies throughout time (but especially recent history). Great job… looking forward to the next. -Hawk
Just finished Spheres of Influence, absolutely fantastic. Cannot say enough about Mr. Nealen’s writing, it is consistently on target. Fantastic story that just flows, captivated me enough I couldn’t put the book down until completed. Look forward to next in series, and more stories in the WarGate franchise from Mr Nealen. Thank you.
Hope this posts, keep getting error msg.
