About this ebook

The Empire is falling. The star itself may finish the job.

The self-aware interstellar array has struck back. A million people are dead, the Empire is coming apart, and Danny Andela and her crew are stranded on Nijeliya II—cut off from the ships, communications and technology that once connected the known worlds.

On a planet where the sun never sets, survival has become a full-time occupation. Danny is trying to hold a city together, protect the people who depend on her, and live with the losses the array has inflicted. Her grief is turning into something dangerous, and she has no intention of letting the intelligence responsible escape justice.

But Nijeliya's red star is notorious for devastating superflares. When the next one comes, an entire city could die. With the array controlling the established routes between worlds, Danny and her allies must find another way off the planet—and perhaps another way for humanity to travel among the stars.

Saving her people will take more than courage. It will take impossible engineering, uneasy alliances and a willingness to remake the future of civilization itself.

Destroyer of Worlds is the fifth and final novel in Cameron Cooper's Imperial Hammer series, a character-driven space opera of rogue artificial intelligence, galactic upheaval, desperate survival and fiercely loyal found family.

Epic ending to this space opera series. It is well written with descriptive and vivid storytelling. Fast paced with drama, adventure and action. This is an exciting read that wraps up the series well.

What an awesome book! An epic and satisfying finish to the series. An edge of the seat ride all the way through with tension abounding. After the drama and wrenching finish to book four this story picks up the thread and tells us what goes on in the aftermath. For a story that deals with life and death challenges and seemingly hopeless odds there was a fantastic balance of insights into characters' perseverance and incremental progress to keep the characters, and me as the reader, in a positive frame of mind. There was lots of political and 'spacer' drama going on but the real heart of the story for me was the rich and insightful portrayal of the relationships between characters. Every character personality was complex and interesting. This book, WOW! It moved me!! I gasped; I cried with sadness and I cried with delight! Not many books move me to tears despite the claims of others' reviews but this one delivered heartfelt emotions in spades! I left the series satisfied that there were no loose ends and feeling good about the characters and their future...whatever it may hold. I highly recommend this series and especially advocate reading all the books in order (including the short novella between, about Varg).

A face paced page turner. This author has mastered the character driven space opera without bogging us down in the science part. Filled with characters that feel real and who you can side with, there are tons of twists and turns. Plan to read in one sitting—you won’t want to stop until you’ve finished. I also highly recommend the entire series. It's been terrific and this is the final book where everything comes together.
