Maelstrom Unleashed. Novaroma, #3

In a distant corner of the galaxy, where humanity's exiled descendants have forged the resilient Novaroman Republic, an interstellar war brews after four hundred years of uneasy peace. Captain Gabriel Carloman, a forgotten heir to a fallen imperial dynasty, uncovers a sinister Ipis incursion deep within Novaroman territory. The purple-scaled conquerors-derisively called "harpies" by humans-launch a devastating surprise attack, shattering the fragile peace and threatening to extinguish humanity's very existence.
Rising from the rank of a backwater frontier guard commander, Gabe rallies the fractured human fleets and forges alliances with enigmatic alien species. However, cunning tactics and audacious raids are not enough against an implacable foe with unlimited resources. Ancient secrets, sentient machines from a forgotten Earth, and shadowy galactic politics collide in a desperate bid for survival. In Maelstrom Unleashed, the third explosive installment of John Caligiuri's Novaroma Series, heroes must navigate betrayal, innovation, and the void's unforgiving fury.
Will Gabe's unyielding resolve rewrite humanity's destiny, or will the harpies' manifest destiny claim the stars? Epic space opera meets historical intrigue in this tale of empires clashing and legends born.
