A decade from now, Western Civilization lies in ruins. Governments surrender to a global socialist-statist regime, crushing liberty and reducing citizens to mere serfs. For a generation, the political fight and culture wars have been lost—but for those who refuse to kneel, defeat isn’t the end. It’s a beginning.

About the book
Brad Mendoza is an idiot. He knows it, and so does everyone else in the star nation of Prometheus.

The Worst Ship in the Fleet opens Skyler Ramirez’s explosive Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes universe with sharp wit, high stakes, and heart.

And the Mighty Will Fall
Sci-Fi · Military Sci-Fi · Space Opera
Our take
As NeoG helps transfer Mars Orbital Station to civilian control, Commander Maxine Carmichael and Lieutenant Commander Saqib Vahid are caught in a violent attack by extremists fighting over Martian independence, with a 4.2-star average from more than 300 Goodreads ratings. A strong match for readers drawn to action-heavy space opera, political tension, found family, and high-stakes survival.
Choose your retailer
About the book
With the fourth stand-alone NeoG novel, Die Hard meets A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet in this nail-biting, action-filled story that’s as much about found family as it is about survival when a peaceful transition of power in the Mars Orbital Station goes terribly wrong as rebels decide this is the moment to make their move, leaving two NeoG members stranded inside a ticking time bomb.
When you’re trapped in space, there’s no way out.
The mission of the Near-Earth Orbital Guard is to ensure the peace and security of the solar system. Commander Maxine Carmichael and Lieutenant Commander Saqib Vahid are at the Mars Orbital Station (MOS) to help facilitate the official handover from NeoG to Mars civilian control as part of the ongoing negotiations. Members of the extreme wings of the fight for Martian independence refuse to remain silent, and are willing to resort to violence to make their voices heard; Max and Saqib find themselves fighting for their lives. The attacks both on the MOS and the ground of Mars sets off a chain reaction that could destabilize the last few years of cautious peace.
The leader of Free Mars, Sylvia Moroz, knows better than anyone how fragile harmony is, having seen for decades the Coalition of Human Nations’ inability to negotiate for peace. Without any assurances—and knowing her splintered people all too well—anything less than complete liberation will only lead to more bloodshed. She’s not opposed to fighting, but when there’s an attempt on her life, she finds she must look for help from the NeoG and Commander D’Arcy Montaglione. The pair will have to overcome their past to figure out who they can trust and how to stop the attacks on the ground before more lives are lost.
Trapped inside the station, Carmichael and Vahid are scrambling to not only get to the bottom of the attackers’ motives, but also to simply survive. Because with the rest of the Zuma’s Ghost crew stuck down on Mars, it’s up to them to do what they can to keep the MOS from fully falling into the wrong hands…and keep Mars from descending into all-out war.
