Books like Revelation by Drew Karpyshyn
After humanity discovers advanced Prothean technology on Mars in 2148, it expands beyond the solar system, bringing new challenges to an interstellar alliance. On the fringes of colonized space, former war hero David Anderson is tasked with probing a derelict military research station abandoned in violent ruins. The investigation uncovers the mysterious disappearance of young scientist Kahlee Sanders, who was last seen before the base’s sudden, brutal attack.
Anderson teams with a mistrusted alien agent while evading a relentless assassin, traveling through uncharted worlds to piece together the truth behind the massacre. As he digs deeper, he confronts a conspiracy that threatens the fragile balance of the galaxy—and the man who will never live to tell its full story.
