A brand new eARC set in the Caine Riordan Universe dropped today!
Homefront by Charles E. Gannon
The Caine Riordan Universe returns to Earth as humanity struggles through post-war reconstruction on a global scale!
September 9, 2121 AD. After the failed invasion of Earth, word arrives that the Arat Kur have been defeated in their home system. For two years, humanity watched the skies, fearing that the exosapients might return.
But rather than bringing relief, the news of victory releases a hot surge of suppressed conflicts, grudges, and greed which, together, might accomplish what an alien invasion could not: the destruction of the fledgling Consolidated Terran Republic.
Even before they attacked, Earth was reeling from unprecedented shocks. Caine Riordan revealed the discovery of alien ruins, the exosapient Accord contacted Earth, and the resulting multi-speciate Convocation became the pretext for invasion. All in six months.
Two old war heroes—Ira Silverstein and David Weber—grudgingly answer the call to prevent that outcome. The first item on their agenda: investigate and defang the militant factions using post-war resentments and bigotry to advance their own agendas. And the pair certainly have their work cut out for them as they navigate the CTR’s seething tsunamis of change. Smoldering beneath Earth’s facade of unified purpose, old embers of hatred, distrust, and injustice flare.
Get the eARC at: baen.com/homefront-earc.html. (eARC is only available until release on Dec 1, 2026)
