In the autumn of 2040, Beverly Hills is behind the front lines, deep in the AIZ (Alien Incursion Zone). Four times mankind has tried to take back the Hills. Four times mankind has been beaten back. But now word leaks of a treasure trove, a secret bank in Beverly Hills where the rich and famous keep their wealth, and for some, the allure is too much to pass up. The result is an all-out mad dash where fellow treasure hunters can be as lethal as the alien forces defending their turf. A private military contractor. A battle-tested Army unit. A grizzled militia. A pair of rogue ASHUR pilots. These are among the players throwing caution to the wind as they take on alien invaders in pursuit of treasure and glory. The Fifth Battle for Beverly Hills is on!

The world's oceans are no longer safe. Mysterious alien invaders have conquered two-thirds of the earth's surface-its oceans-and now nations are reeling from the savage attacks that have struck every shore. Los Angeles and Washington D.C. are war zones. The survival of the United States depends on heroes. Among them are a grizzled Army veteran who pilots his ASHUR in defense of the nation's capital, a brilliant analyst who works feverishly to unravel the secrets of the invaders, and the bold and daring officers of the US Navy, battered from below yet seeking to salvage victory from the jaws of defeat. Yet some of the unlikeliest of heroes are the people who emerge from the shadows of everyday life to fight for their very survival as the alien incursion carves deeper into the continental coastlines. Fighting in the currents is hard enough. Fighting the RIPTIDES is even harder...

An unknown enemy waits for war. >The United States and the rest of the world are ill prepared for such an attack. Humanity's only hope are ASHURs, powerful armored combat suits named after the Assyrian god of war. The fight for survival will require ingenuity, cunning, and a furious application of destructive violence against the most unrelenting enemy mankind has ever known! Tom Clancy and the Expanse meets Mecha-charged combat in this thrilling series that pits humanity, world governments, and deadly alien invaders against each other. The fight for tomorrow begins with the initial SPLASHDOWN...
