Libris Cartash

'It's been ages since they let us blow anything up.'A year ago, the Fourth Fleet Irregulars were taken to a distant planet they found was the legendary Libris Cartash, the Lost Library of Cartasay. There, they discovered a mysterious crystalline artefact buried deep underground, which they were unable to reach at the time.Now they're back, setting up a base for a team to excavate the artefact. With the base established, though, they are re-tasked to a secondary mission. Sixships, a world colonised by six fanatical and mutally hostile groups, has been at war for nearly two centuries. Can the Fourth find a way to impose a ceasefire?To Commodore Alex von Strada's delight, their efforts will require quite a lot of blowing things up, with the kind of spectacular destruction the Fourth always enjoys.It will be their return to Libris Cartash, though, which will truly challenge Alex and the Fourth, as the excavation of the Library reveals an extraordinary legacy.
