War In Heaven

A Gritty, High-Octane Space Opera

War In Heaven by Gavin Smith, published by Gollancz in 2011, is a bold and unrelenting sequel to Veteran, plunging readers back into a war-torn future where humanity is once again on the brink of annihilation. Blending military science fiction with cyberpunk grit, Smith creates a world that’s as brutal as it is breathtaking.

Humanity’s Last Stand

The war that was supposed to be over is far from finished. Former special forces operative Jakob Douglas is once again thrown into the chaos, this time facing a threat not just from alien enemies, but from within humanity itself. Genetic manipulation, AI factions, and interstellar politics collide in a savage battle for survival.

Visceral Action and Futuristic Warfare

Smith’s prose is raw and fast-paced, loaded with explosive combat scenes, high-tech weaponry, and a heavy dose of noir attitude. But beneath the action lies sharp social commentary and complex characters grappling with loyalty, identity, and the cost of war.

For Fans of Gritty Sci-Fi and Military Thrillers

War In Heaven is a must-read for those who enjoy the relentless pace of authors like Richard K. Morgan and Peter F. Hamilton. It’s intelligent, brutal, and darkly immersive—sci-fi at its most uncompromising.
