Welcome to the Lacunaverse, the home of David Adams, the creator of the Lacuna series of books (and other things).
Welcome to the Lacunaverse!
This is my home away from home, a place where I place my thoughts and musings, and links to all my books (novels, short stories, or otherwise) that I've written and published. My mainstay series is the Lacuna series, but I do other things from time to time, too.
![]() It is with these words that an unknown alien attacker destroys the Earth cities of Tehran, Sydney and Beijing. Fifty million people die... and nothing is ever the same again. Some call them Demons, some call them Aliens, but to Chinese Naval Captain Melissa Liao they are the enemy. She is given command of one of three great warships built to fight the "demons", the TFR Beijing. Her task is simple. Find who attacked Earth and why... then stop them. Buddha once said, "An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast...
... for a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind."
The scars of betrayal runs deep... and Captain Melissa Liao will find out just how far the slighted will go for revenge.
The words of a construct, an artificial mind, ring truer than ever. Humanity has angered a powerful foe and cannot weather the growing storm. The Toralii are coming. But instead of warships, the Toralii Alliance send an ambassador to the Sol system. The message it brings is a startling, marked departure from all other contact with the species... and one that heralds a shift in the balance of power in the Milky Way, the most significant in hundreds of years. The Toralii face a larger threat. A something their ships cannot catch, their weapons cannot touch and gravimetric interference cannot stop. The Toralii, for the first time in centuries, know the crushing grip of fear. The TFR Beijing must face an old enemy, an enemy who has not been idle; an imperfect being whose ambition seems matched only by his capabilities. Liao's child is born into an era of war and fear, and the spectre of oblivion looms over all mankind.
