A rogue Overmind is on the loose. A million souls hang in the balance. The Solaran Defense Forces make the difficult decision to evacuate the colony of Robichar in order to avoid a direct confrontation. But when Captain Elya Nevers gets shot down during the evacuation, his squadron and the admiral in charge have to think fast to rescue their pilot before the Kryl overrun the system. Fighting to survive in hostile territory, Captain Nevers discovers what the rampaging Overmind is really after—and it changes everything. An extinct species known as the Telos fled the galaxy eons ago. What caused them to vanish in such a hurry? And more importantly, what ancient relics of alien power did they leave behind? It’s fly or die in this space opera action adventure for fans of Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Honor Harrington, and Starcraft II.

What they don’t know may doom the livable worlds Captain Elya Nevers and the Furies face a different kind of danger back home as they bid farewell to fallen comrades, wade into the murky realm of Solaran politics, and hunt for knowledge about the Telos relics—while being hunted themselves. Overmind X is still at large. She's hungry to get her talons on the next artifact of alien power. Will she find it before the Solarans get their own house in order? And what terrifying existential threat to the galaxy does she become if they’re too late? Hidden Relics is the second interstellar adventure in the Relics of the Ancients series of space opera novels by bestselling author M.G. Herron. For fans of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and anyone who enjoys seeing starfighter pilots and their bots kick some serious alien menace.

R ace for the relics! Will Elya solve the Telos puzzle and locate the remaining prime relics before Overmind X does? Will Casey be able to fill the vacuum their disgraced former squadron commander left behind? And will Kira build her new armada up to full strength before Overmind X reignites the Kryl War? The next explosive chapter of Relics of the Ancients, an action-packed space adventure that will pit the Solaran Fleet’s greatest pilots against a terrifying alien menace whose power to rapidly evolve, augmented by ancient alien artifacts, threatens to destroy them all.
