SURVIVOR (Atlantia Series Book 1)

A civilisation destroyed. A species doomed to wander the cosmos. A lone survivor feared by all, her voice silenced and her face veiled behind a metal mask.

The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former military fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and haunted by escaped convicts threatening the survival of her beleaguered crew and civilians.

Trapped in orbit around a foreign world, damaged and low on supplies, the crew of the Atlantia are forced to make a deal with the devil to forge an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians in a last-ditch attempt to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind.

Humanity’s last stand begins here, and only one woman stands between annihilation and our future…

Survivor is the first volume of the science fiction "Atlantia" space opera series from internationally best-selling thriller and action adventure author Dean Crawford.
