Dark Angels Rising - Paperback

by Ian Whates (Author)

The breathless conclusion to the story that began with Amazon UK #1 Best Seller Pelquins Comet and continued with The Ion Raider.

The Dark Angels - a notorious band of brigands turned folk heroes who disbanded a decade ago - are all that stands between humanity and disaster. Reunited with their ship, The Ion Raider, Drake, Leesa, Jen, Saavi and their fellow Angels must prevent Mudball - a resurrected Elder, last of a long dead alien race - from reclaiming the scientific marvels of its people. Supported by an elite military unit known as the Night Hammers and Saflik - a star-spanning criminal organisation run be zealots - Mudball has discovered the whereabouts of the ultimate Elder cache, long considered to be a myth, and is intent on using the scientific marvels stored there to establish itself as God over all of humankind.

Can one ship of reluctant heroes hope to stop them? The Dark Angels know they have little choice but to try.
