Battle Beyond Earth is Nick S. Thomas’s expanded continuation of his Battle Earth universe. The series takes the alien war that began on Earth and pushes it outward, with humanity fighting back across space. Starting in 2011 and running through 2017, the eighteen books follow the progression of the conflict as it grows in scale.

The series interweaves with the original Battle Earth timeline. Several installments carry the same numbered Battle Earth titles alongside new entries like Resurrection, Insurrection, and Retaliation, reflecting both the ongoing ground war and the larger interstellar campaign. Later books such as Phoenix Odyssey, Deception, and Reckoning push the story toward its conclusion as the stakes escalate.
