The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and crewed by an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians determined to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind. Ambushed in orbit around a lonely planet far from the Core Systems, the crew of Atlantia realize that the spread of the Legion across the galaxy is occurring far quicker than any of them could have believed possible. Unable to stem the flow, they are forced to flee and approach the Galactic Council for assistance in defeating the Legion. But the Legion is already aboard Atlantia and threatens to undermine their position, the frigate a plague ship. The ultimate democracy, the Oassians who rule the council are renowned for their diplomacy and aversion to conflict, and their sector of the galaxy has not seen a fleet action for hundreds of years. Now Captain Idris Sansin and his crew throw themselves at their mercy, their ships infected, their crews conflicted and the Legion closing in on them. But the council is hiding something, and before Idris and his crew can react they find themselves in the midst of an Oassian plot to build a different kind of alliance – one with the Legion itself. And humanity is the bait.

“I’m glad my life came to an end. That was when it really began.”In the near future, a horrific pandemic known as The Falling has decimated mankind, leaving just a few cities standing. In a desperate race to prevent the extinction of our race, technology has given rise to an entirely new species: Holo Sapiens.Those fortunate enough to be able to afford it can be resurrected after death as holographic projections immune to disease, hunger and time itself. But as the human survivors of The Falling make their last defiant attempt to find a cure before the cities fall and political power is passed to the holosaps, the discovery of a “kill-switch” that could see Holo Sapiens consigned to history changes the world. As the prospect of war looms between the living and the “after-living”, it is down to one woman to find the kill-switch before mankind and Holo Sapiens attempt to erase each other from existence...COPYRIGHT DEAN CRAWFORD 2013 

Manhattan, USA, 1899: Electrical engineer Nikola Tesla detects strange signals coming from an object orbiting the Earth at a high velocity, fifty years before mankind’s first satellite is launched into space. The signal is again detected by radio operators in Norway twenty years later and is confirmed by the United States Air Force. Then, silence…, until now. Ethan Warner and Hannah Ford of the Defense Intelligence Agency are called in to investigate a sudden resurgence of the signal, and unveil a tremendously classified operation by NASA and the USAF to conceal the evidence from the rest of the world. Tracking the decaying orbit of the object, code-named Black Knight, they discover that it is about to descend to Earth for the first time in 13,000 years – and that it is homing in on an Earth-bound signal coming from deep inside the Arctic Circle. Ethan and Hannah are dispatched with a crack team of soldiers and scientists to intercept the object, and in doing so locate the bleak remains of a wartime German submarine base buried deep in the ice floes connecting the Nazis and the orbiting Black Knight. But they are not alone in their search as the combined forces of their arch enemies, Majestic-Twelve, amass to fight for the right to the satellite. But in the bleak wastes of the Arctic there is something else awaiting all of them that is not of this world…

Centuries after three quarters of the human population on earth fell victim to a savage plague, a new enemy rises to threaten the existence of humanity. A civilization divided by those still fully human, those part machine and those who are both dead and alive at the same time, what it means to be truly human has already been long forgotten. Surviving in a world four hundred years in the future that is as strange as it is dangerous, Detective Nathan Ironside is assigned the appeal case of a former prison officer incarcerated for homicide in a hellish gaol in orbit around Saturn. Nathan digs deep into the convict’s claims of innocence in an attempt to hide his own sorrows, and swiftly finds himself embroiled in a major conspiracy. But even trapped aboard a lawless prison ship he faces only half the danger of his partner Lieutenant Foxx, aboard the fleet’s flagship Titan; for mankind has made “first contact” with an alien species, and it’s nothing like anybody expected…

The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and crewed by an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians determined to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind. Pursuing a Veng’en cruiser toward home, the Atlantia enters Chiron, an uncharted frontier system orbiting a dying star. Seeking supplies, the crew deploy to the small world of Chiron IV, hoping to replenish their dwindling stocks before continuing their journey. But Chiron IV harbours unseen dangers – a flotilla of corsairs, privateers and escaped convicts amassing a fleet of their own. Caught between the unruly brigands on Chiron IV and the forces of the Legion beyond the system, and with many crew taken hostage on the surface, Captain Idris Sansin must thwart the pirates and defend the Atlantia. With a crew tired of conflict, violence and drug-abuse afflicting the civilians and the pirate’s plan to flee the cosmos tempting even the strongest minds to reconsider their future with the Atlantia, the captain finds himself facing the greatest crisis of his command – the break-up of what little remains of humanity… Aggressor is the third volume of the Atlantia series from internationally best-selling author Dean Crawford, is DRM free and is 100,000 words in length.

Centuries after three quarters of the human population on earth fell victim to a savage plague, a new enemy rises to threaten the existence of humanity. A civilization divided by those still fully human, those part-machine and those who are both dead and alive at the same time, what it means to be truly human has already been long forgotten. Surviving in a world four hundred years in the future that is as strange as it is dangerous, Detective Nathan Ironside is facing the first ever invasion of Earth by an alien force. Caught between the threat of war, an allied fleet and a family he barely knows, Nathan is assigned the case of a serial killer unlike any other he has ever seen: a killer who leaves his victims mummified and without their internal organs. As the case takes him into the depths of New Washington’s darkest corners in search of black-market organ smugglers, he realizes that the killer is not a human being at all. As remote outposts in nearby star systems start falling silent one by one, Nathan and the fleet realize that the killers are entities that have assumed the identities of their countless victims to infiltrate mankind, and that the invasion of Earth began long, long ago…

     Ancient cultures on continents separated by thousands of miles simultaneously developed identical technologies thousands of years ago despite never having encountered each other. Their legends contain near-identical descriptions of fiery objects that arrived from the sky, of wise beings that brought them knowledge, and of a great flood that destroyed their cities long, long ago. Modern archaeology dismisses these legends as myths. Ethan Warner knows better.      Peru, 1571: On a mountain high in the Andes in the last days of the Inca Empire, six children are ritually sacrificed to the Inca God Inti. Entombed in the icy wastes, they have lain awaiting discovery for centuries. They are remarkable for one reason: their skulls are elongated almost beyond recognition. In 1914, intrepid American explorer Hiram Bingham III discovers the lost Inca citadel of Macchu Picchu, and in doing so starts a race to discover one of the greatest secrets mankind has ever known…      Present day: Former US Marine and investigative journalist Ethan Warner has shunned civilization after five investigations with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Living alone in the wilderness, he is tracked down by Dr Lucy Morgan, a scientist who once found the seven thousand year-old remains of an extra-terrestrial species entombed deep in the deserts of Israel. She brings ominous news: there are more remains being found, and there are people willing to kill to obtain them.      Hurled into a global conspiracy that will take them from the deep waters of the East China Sea to the sweltering jungles of Cambodia, from the deserts of Egypt to the soaring heights of the Andes mountains, Ethan and Lucy must locate and excavate the remains of ancient people whose DNA carries both a message and a cure for a disease born of a species not of this Earth, and in doing so save the life of one young child and change the course of human history…
