This can only make the Theocracy more desperate to winand more dangerous to fight. In the fourth and final book in speculative-fiction master Christopher G. Nuttall's Angel in the Whirlwind series, an epic battle pits the survival of hope against the locus of destruction.As the Commonwealth produces more starships and increases recruits, victory begins to slip from Theocratic control. Can Kat break the galactic stalemate and deal a death blow to the Theocracy? As two empires prepare to fight the largest space battle in history, Kat must trust her instincts to save her people and avoid oblivion.. Kat wants something else: to crush the Theocracy outright - and quickly. It is a bold and risky plan, but the enemy has revealed there can be no middle ground.
