Deal with the Devil: Cocytus: Book 3 - John Caligiuri - Bog

How can you save mankind when the odds against you are at least a million to one?Earth is not mankind's only home. Centuries ago, a group of humans left Earth and developed a flourishing society, and in time they forgot about their home world, whose inhabitants had gotten no farther into space than their own moon.These star-travelling humans suffered a horrific fate. The dominant empire in the galaxy, the Ipis, attacked. Deserted by their allied species, humanity's armies were crushed and their civilization annihilated. Simply being human was considered a capital crime in the Ipis Empire.Seven years ago, Dante Carloman was abducted from Earth, along with hundreds of others, by Ipis scientists who had kept their endeavors secret. After overcoming his captors, he built a small society on the frozen world of Cocytus, while the Earth, on the fringe of the galaxy, remained unknown. Ipis marauders, searching for human enclaves, found the Earth and pounced.Until then, Dante had no idea where in the galaxy the world of his birth was until that invasion. With over a billion of Earth's population already murdered by the Ipis, his options were slim. He had to depend on a relief armada from an alliance that didn't exist a year ago, unite a planet of humans who hadn't agreed on anything since they crawled out of the swamp, and defeat an enemy that hadn't lost a significant battle in over a hundred and twenty years.Dante was willing to make a deal with the devil to save his species from extinction.
