Retaliator

The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship fleeing a horrific apocalypse now consuming the galaxy. Manned by an uneasy alliance of exhausted military staff, untrustworthy former convicts and desperate civilians, the Atlantia’s crew have vowed to run no more. The war has begun…
But the terrifying technological horror that has consumed mankind is closer at hand than the crew realises. Answering a faint distress call from deep space, the crew are forced to confront not only their own worst nightmare, an outbreak of the Legion’s Infectors aboard ship, but also an attack from the most reviled and feared species in the known galaxy, the Veng’en.
Confronted by danger both within and beyond, in deep space and alone, new alliances will be forged and friendships tested to their limits as Evelyn, Andaim, Captain Idris Sansin and those who follow them face for the first time their greatest foes in open battle…
