Descendants of War takes on the question of inherited conflict across six novels. The series follows characters shaped by a previous war who find themselves drawn into a new one, carrying the burdens and skills of their parents’ generation. Published between 2021 and 2022, the books mix military action with themes of legacy and duty.
From Descendant of War through Heroes of War, the series escalates through battleship-scale engagements, encounters with ancient war machines, and confrontations with enemies both familiar and new. Ogden uses the generational angle to add emotional weight to his characteristic military sci-fi action.
