Overview

Following their miraculous, though costly, victory against the Virex Collective, ""The Vanguard""-Captain Mira Halden, Sergeant Rafe ""Torque"" Maddix, Dr. Elenya Vos, and Corporal Ren Kess-is humanity's reluctant hope. Governments scramble to understand their powers, often seeking insights from scientists like Dr. Kellen Rourke, while the team itself struggles with the personal cost of their transformation and the weight of public expectation. Admiral Silen Brade faces the immense pressure of managing this new, powerful asset. In Echoes of the Void, it's revealed that the Virex Collective was merely a scout force for a larger, more insidious threat: The Echelos Fold, a psychic, hive-mind species capable of manipulating minds and biological matter. The Echelos Fold's invasion is less about brute force and more about infiltration and psychological warfare, targeting humanity's fears and divisions. Dr. Elenya Vos's powers become crucial in understanding and countering the Echelos Fold's biological attacks and psychic incursions, pushing her cellular manipulation abilities to new limits. Captain Mira Halden's precognition is strained to its limits against their amorphous, unpredictable tactics, forcing her to rely more on instinct and her team. Rafe and Ren face terrifying mental assaults that test their resolve. The Vanguard must learn to trust their evolving powers and each other more deeply, as they uncover disturbing truths about the ancient alien artifact that gave them their gifts and its deeper, more sinister connection to the aliens. The book culminates in a desperate counter-attack against a major Echelos Fold psychic assault, forcing the Vanguard to confront the echoes of the void within their own minds, and revealing that the artifact is far more than a weapon-it's a key to something ancient and terrifying.

Author Information

Gregory Parrott is more than a writer; he embodies the very stories he's always yearned to read. Since his restless teenage years, he has crafted worlds where futuristic starships meet World War II battlefields, and ancient dragons exist alongside modern drones. By blending science fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, military sagas, and fantasy, he provides readers a captivating escape through time, space, and the complexities of the human experience. Living in New England, Gregory's vibrant life in Massachusetts deeply influences his narratives. Growing up with rolling hills and rich history has shaped his creative sensibilities. Now, he balances his writing with family life, cheering for his kids at sporting events or brainstorming bedtime stories over a cluttered kitchen table filled with sketches of alien landscapes and battle maps. Outside, Gregory finds solace in the rhythm of the water. Twice a week, he joins a veterans' crew in a dragon boat on the Connecticut River. This disciplined teamwork enhances the realism of his action scenes. After paddling, he retreats to his gaming den, diving into RPGs and tactical shooters, treating these sessions as studies in pacing, character motivation, and world-building. Running also grounds him, especially in the vivid New England autumn. Every run clarifies his thoughts, with plot ideas emerging as his feet strike the pavement, creating a mental ledger of dialogue snippets, settings, and plot twists. Discipline and imagination fuel Gregory's storytelling. His early fantasies, scribbled during math class, echo the same passion that drives his current work. Years spent with veteran military strategists have refined his craft, marrying meticulous research with boundless creativity. Each chapter invites readers to explore universes where rogue AIs lead rebellions, medieval knights find portals to the future, and ordinary people become extraordinary heroes in war. His narratives resonate with the stories we all wish to hear, validating hidden dreams. With the precision of a seasoned tactician and the wonder of a child, Gregory offers a literary passport, transporting readers to extraordinary realms while reminding them that the magic of storytelling lies in the heart of the storyteller.
