Book Description
There's no stopping the Void now. The gate has been cracked open. Drake and Valencia spent years trying to prevent the coming of the all-powerful alien race known as the Void, only it was all for nothing. After Drake made a deal with the Void Inquisitor, the entity known as Drake Rose ceased to exist as everyone else knew him, leaving him a thrall at the command of the Void. Valencia knows there's no time to waste, trying to urge Terran leaders to join forces with the Gra'al in a show of unity against the coming storm, while Zed believes the only way there can be peace is in retribution against Ansel Breedon, the madman who's xenophobic brinksmanship ruined the fragile peace the galaxy had been working towards. As the crew track down missing Terrans and follow the clues they believe left to them by Drake, it's a race against time to ensure the survival of both the Terran and Gra'al people against the unknown alien threat. *** Cracked Palace is the sixth and final novel in Dave Walsh's Trystero science fiction adventure series. The final book in the Trystero saga explores many metaphysical themes, while staying true to its galaxy-hopping space opera scope. Readers enjoy the deep, personal themes and relationships between the characters while not sacrificing on the breakneck, adventure-filled pacing. Each book explores different thematic elements, from parenthood, to coming of age discovery to broader, geopolitical ones. The first title in the series, Broken Ascension, was a semi-finalist in Hugh Howey’s SPSFC, has been dazzling readers for years now. Scott from the YouTube channel Book Invasion had this to say about it: “Walsh crafts some excellent action scenes and tension in a high-stakes world while jugging the yin and yang of the characters.” YouTuber Ramsey Meadows says: “So far this is my favorite of the books I have read for the SPSFC and it was a great grow up fast because he has to book.”

Book Description
Humanity has never been known for subtlety... now is no different. After years of peace, things are unraveling. Drake may be the most powerful human that’s ever lived, imbued with powers beyond his wildest imagination, but still he struggles with his place in the galaxy. For Valencia, the galaxy has done nothing but take from and hurt her, leaving her exhausted and alone. There’s no rest for them in sight, though, as the godlike alien race they discovered on Thuul looms on the horizon, ready to pound down the door to the celestial gate only Drake can access and destroy humanity. All they have to do is convince Terrans to stop weaponizing alien technology… Which is easier said than done. If none of the Terran leaders will listen to them, and only continue down a path of destruction, can the crew of the Trystero keep hope alive by preventing the coming calamity? Or will their hopes for the future be smashed?
