A shocking discovery reveals that Elsie Green is not entirely human. When hellhounds descend upon her village, she discovers a connection to these fearsome creatures—and to the alluring demon Lilith, who becomes her lover and guide. Together, they must navigate the treacherous world of Faerie, confront a dangerous enemy who seeks to exploit Elsie’s powers, and protect the innocent lives caught in the crossfire.

The universe is in peril as a massive alien ringworld known as the Gem, housing over 30,000 alien species, hurtles toward a Bridge in space. This Bridge, a tear in the fabric of reality connecting to a higher energy universe, threatens to unravel the very existence of everything. The Gem's arrival was preceded by a wave of smaller alien ships that surrendered to humanity. However, the Gem itself remained silent, its motives shrouded in mystery.

Humanity, having recently faced devastating attacks from other alien species, the Thrakzz and the Mynix, finds itself on the brink of annihilation. To survive, they must unravel the secrets of the Gem and the Bridge, forming alliances and navigating treacherous diplomatic waters.

As the clock ticks down to the Gem's arrival at the Bridge, a small group of brilliant minds race against time to decipher alien languages, uncover hidden agendas, and forge unlikely partnerships. But in a universe teeming with unknown dangers, even the most brilliant strategies could backfire, leading to unforeseen consequences. The fate of humanity—and perhaps the universe—hangs in the balance as the countdown to the Gem's arrival at the Bridge continues.

The starship Hope died saving five hundred million people. But did they stop the aliens? Or will the aliens attack the next star system? And, without a fleet, or even a ship, how will Cody Ford and his crew stop them?

Flight Of The Wasp in the second in the heart-pounding alien invasion series, Cody’s War.
