Galactic Thunder - Iron Hammer, #1

Danny and her crew learn that humans may not be alone in the galaxy. Thirty years ago, Danny and her crew on the Supreme Lythion were instrumental in the defeat of the sentient array, the crumbling of the Empire and the development of crescent ships. Now wildcat crescent ships are opening up the known galaxy, finding more worlds to be settled and new resources.  When the wildcat ship Ige Ibas goes dark and silent, Dalton comes to Danny for help, because his son, Mace, is on that ship.
Despite their history, Danny agrees to try to find Mace. But the Ige Ibas has gone dark for a reason, and Danny's investigation rouses the ire of a new enemy, one that emerges from beyond any worlds known to humans.Galactic Thunder is the first book in the Iron Hammer space opera science fiction series by award-winning SF author Cameron Cooper. The Iron Hammer series is a spin off from the acclaimed Imperial Hammer series, and features many of the characters and situations from that series.
The Iron Hammer series:1.0: Galactic Thunder2.0: Stellar Storm3.0: Planetary Parlay4.0: Waxing War5.0: Ruled Out6.0: Stranger Stars7.0: Federal Force8.0: Redline RebelsSpace Opera Science Fiction Novel__Praise for Galactic Thunder:I found myself unable to just stop reading at just anyplace even at 2:00 a.m. IT IS THAT GOOD and I'm really pleased to have found this author!!!This one is rife with conflict and fall out from the Imperial Hammer series.
And more parawolves!This is the beginning of a series, so while it contains a full story arc (there isn't a cliff hanger) it is also building a larger arc and that last line is a dozy!I highly recommend this book and to enrich your experience with the characters I would definitely read the Imperial Hammer series first. Intriguing and in my opinion the best Danny book yet. This writer gets better and better with each new book.__Cameron Cooper is the author of the Imperial Hammer series, an Amazon best-selling space opera series, among others. Cameron tends to write space opera short stories and novels, but also roams across the science fiction landscape.
