Queen of Ariel: (Bellatrix War Book 2)

Hannibal Quinn and his APEX detachment are fighting for survival across the jungles of Ariel.

As the Bellatrix War enters its second year, the Terran Federation has laid siege to the Presskri Empire’s jungle stronghold. Fleet bombardments set the skies ablaze while Army formations vanish beneath alien rainforests, drowned river basins, and the shattered ruins of an ancient lizard civilization. Ariel has become a brutal war of attrition.

Deep behind enemy lines, Staff Sergeant Hannibal Quinn and the covert soldiers of APEX— Advanced Planning and Execution —are sent on a mission no conventional force could survive: hunt down the Queen of Ariel and kill her before the Federation offensive collapses beneath the jungle canopy.

But the Queen has no intention of surrendering her world. As Federation forces tighten the noose around her dying empire, she prepares a final act of annihilation that could consume Ariel in fire and drag both armies into oblivion.

From the international best-selling author of Task Force Cobra and World War Africa comes a science fiction military thriller of epic proportions. Where deep space warfare meets boots on the ground combat.
