Nemesis: Season 2 (Dark Legacy Ep. 1) (Universe in Flames Book 11) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 416 ratings

An old enemy bent on vengeance.

The Earth Alliance isn’t ready.

And war demands sacrifice…

Chase Athanatos is deep in uncharted space, on a quest to save his wife. His old nemesis, Tanak’Vor, infected her with Spectre blood, forcing Chase to put her in suspended animation until a cure could be found. Chase killed him for it, but his wife is still in danger.

Now, Tanak’vor’s brother wants revenge for his death: in command of a stealth fleet, Asrak’Vor plans to make Chase pay the ultimate price – along with the entire Earth Alliance.

To defeat the Spectres, Chase must harden himself or the galaxy will burn again.

And this time, there will be no rising from the ashes.

    I received an ARC so I could read it early, then bought the book when it was released, to help the author. This new series begins about a year after the great “Universe in Flames” series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Our heroes are battle-worn, but know they need to recover, rebuild their forces and be ready for anything. Incidents arise which point to a new, more powerful foe getting ready to attack the Earth Aliance. Mr. Kallias writes entertaining stories with plenty of action, plot twists and character development that keeps the reader engaged, turning pages and missing sleep as you don’t want to put the book down. These books are always easy reads, coming to a satisfactory breaking point and setting the scene for the next one in line. Well done, Mr. Kallias!!

    The only issue is the waiting time between books in series. The author promise deliver but it has not appear (Dark Legacy 2)
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019
    That rare genius in writing that shines like a super nova is clearly evident in Kallias's latest edition to the Universe in Flames saga. This first book in the next stage of the saga brings the 'band' back together to help Chase search the unexplored regions of space to hopefully find a cure for his wife Sara.
    If that quest wasn't difficult enough, the Spectors are back in all their unholy evil ways. The action is an emotional roller-coaster ride that will exhaust you both physically and emotionally. The imagination of Kallias introduces us to some new races and new enemies. The cover of this book gives a great overview of what happens between the covers. I would pay a lot to see this put up on the silver screen.
    I proudly award this novel 5 STARS!

    Tighten up your seatbelts and get ready for another wild interstellar ride! Author, Christian Kallias, has done it again.

    As usual you can expect great character and world building along with loads of action in Nemesis, the newest installment from the "Universe in Flames" series. The characters and storyline kerp growing in depth and strength and keeps you looking for the next installment. With non-stop action, there's one crisis after another waiting around every star.  You will find everything you want in your heroes; strength, integrity, morals, and of course the weaknesses that make them believable.

    "Nemesis" is the first installment of The Dark Legacy series and continues the adventures of Chase, his son Chris and brother Argos. You will find heroes and villians -- both old and new ones.

    It's been about a year since Chase and the Earth Alliance saved the universe from the Obsidian Empire. The Alliance is rebuilding their defenses just in case they are needed again.  Chase has given up everything and everyone while trying to find a cure for the Spectre's blood that infected Sarah.  While searching for a cure, he picks up a distress call and heads to give aid and finds more than he expected.  Emperor Altair also receives an urgent call that turn his blood cold.  Are the Spectres really our universe?

    This series is a must read for every space opera fan!  I suggest starting with "The Universe in Flames" series" and if you're not hooked immediately, I'll be very surprised. Of course you can start with Nemesis, there is a "Previous in UIF" section that will bring you up to date, but you'll enjoy it so much more from the start.

    I would love to see this series on the big or little screen. It would rival the greats: Star Trek, Battlestar Gallactia, Star Wars.

    I had the honour of getting this book from the author as part of his ARC Team.

    Chase keeps finding himself in FL situations. Someday, he'll find peace. I allows doesn't seem to be in a hurry to assist with that search just yet. 😉

    Dealing with one Spectre is scary enough, but knowing that ships full of Spectres are roaming our dimension, is truly terrifying. Two new characters are introduced in this story and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better. Once again the author brings lots of action, twists and turns. An enjoyable read.

    I have been waiting for this new adventure with old friends! I was not disappointed. Christian does wonders taking our friends on new adventures with plots and subplots galore. I like the way this storyline went. Waiting “patiently” for the next book.

    Do yourself a favor, read this series; start with the ten volume collection that includes novels of additional back stories and takes you through book five, then continue with numbered releases. This series cannot be written fast enough, I haven't been this hooked in a long while. An epic combination of many interests. On to the next...
