Taken to the Stars is one of Rick Partlow’s most ambitious series, running twelve books from 2023 to 2025. The series follows characters caught up in a conflict between a crumbling interstellar empire and the forces pushing for independence and change. The scope grows steadily across the books, from personal survival stories to system-spanning warfare.
Partlow published the series at his usual rapid pace, with several entries appearing per year. The twelve-book length gives the story room to develop its cast and build the kind of large-scale narrative that space opera fans enjoy.
