GET YOUR SHIP TOGETHER. The complete Citadel SeriesAN ANCIENT ENEMY. A THREAT OF WAR. AN UNEXPECTED HOPE. ALL ON THE WRONG FREAKING PLANET. It's been over a century since the terrorist attack that nearly ended any chance for humanity to travel to the stars. Then there was the fifty years of war with the plant-like race, the Esool. The rise of a powerful, cult-like anti-colonization group. The increasing tensions between the wealthy upper class and the lower working class.
It was a lot to overcome. But we're getting better. Now, the first joint colony effort between humans and the Esool has resulted in the colony ship Citadel crashing on the wrong planet, with no hope of returning home. The struggling colony, led by a former alien enemy, is in a fight to survive. And hidden among them is both the saboteur and the most notorious terrorist history has ever known. Survival will mean pulling together and doing the impossible.
