The Sentient Void

Captain Tyler Shepard survived the destruction of the Valhalla, but he didn't escape it. Now, command of the Ragnarok offers him a chance at redemption--if the ship doesn't consume him first. The Ragnarok is no ordinary vessel; its sentient lattice armor is powered by the trauma of its pilot, and it's manifesting the ghostly tactical advice of Tyler's dead mentor.

As Tyler's body begins to reflect the ship's alien geometry, he must navigate a war where his own grief is the fuel. But he isn't the only one interested in the ship's 'suffering-based' tech. The Silent Galbraith, a high-ranking commander who views Tyler's pain as a holy grail, is hunting them through the Deep Silver. To the Galbraith, the Ragnarok isn't a weapon to be destroyed--it's a harvest to be claimed.

While Chief Medical Officer Brandi St. Claire fights to save Tyler's soul from the ship's parasitic embrace, Tyler must face a devastating choice: embrace the ghosts of his past to save the future, or lose himself to the lattice forever. In a galaxy that thrives on fear, can one man's controlled fury turn the tide?

Valhalla Falling is a gripping military science fiction epic about the cost of survival and the heavy weight of the ghosts we carry. Perfect for fans of character-driven space opera and psychological suspense.
