The Hot Gate: Troy Rising, Book Three (Troy Rising Series)

When the orbital gates first materialized in the outer Solar System, all seemed well, but a devastating invasion ensued. Now humans have battled back from conquest by a tyrannical alien species to become a force to reckon with in the galaxy. On a crash-building course, humanity under the leadership of Tyler Vernon, has created a near-impregnable battle station of Deathstar proportions to prove it. But the enemy is remorseless and to survive humans must take the fight to the heart of their empire and prevail― a feat no previous species has ever accomplished. Instead, the bones and burnt hulks of those who have tried litter the star-ways.

But these galactic imperialists have never contended with humans, a foe who is their match in sheer ferocity and desire to win.

The third novel in the Troy Rising space adventure series.

Praise for the previous novels in the Troy Rising series:

“[Live Free or Die has] do-or-die action…plenty of old-fashioned two-fisted can-do attitude, a heavy dose of science, and occasional bursts of dry humor.…” ―Publishers Weekly

“Ringo is back [in Citadel] with a rousing tale of derring-do in space…as good as ever, giving the reader an epic space opera complete with grand vistas and…pungent writing, snappy characters, and gallows humor.” ―Booklist
