Evolution's End - C. J. Daniels - Bog

Two centuries have passed since thermonuclear war devastated the Earth. Miracle breakthroughs by Striker Industries reclaimed Earth and brought colonization to the solar system. Meanwhile, unexplained disappearances and tragic accidents point to a darker intent by Striker. Admiral Nicholas Dante suspects a plot against the Earth Alliance, but without evidence and few to trust, his only hope is family. Kate Dante, accused traitor to Earth, now undercover on Mars, is also investigating a case of missing ships and their crews when her brother Michael arrives with a mission of his own, putting them both in peril. Now her hope is to survive long enough to complete her mission, save her brother, and return him to their lunatic father as events threaten to overwhelm them all. No one is more aware of that horror than Kristin Dante, first officer of the starship Bonaventure. Responding to a distress call, Kristin and her crew discover firsthand the horror that will soon be on the Alliance doorstep. Caught in a struggle against the odds, their only chance is to put old family rivalries and issues behind them. The Dantes' find themselves at the forefront of a war for survival against an evil alien threat. But will years of dysfunctional family history be the end of us all?
