Empire's End

Chuck Wendig

In the wake of a collapsing empire, a dangerous new struggle erupts across the stars—where survival depends on alliances that can’t be trusted and choices that carry lasting consequences. As forces loyal to the old order clash with those determined to seize the future, a cast of determined pilots, schemers, and soldiers races to uncover what’s really driving the conflict. Blending high-stakes action with sharp character-driven tension, the story explores themes of power, loyalty, and the cost of building—or breaking—an empire. With the kinetic, punchy storytelling fans expect from Chuck Wendig and the fast, cinematic momentum Marc Thompson brings to the page, this is a propulsive adventure that turns every victory into a question of what comes next.
