The Dark Angels series takes Ian Whates into space opera territory. The two books follow the crew of a spaceship through dangerous missions and interstellar conflicts. The “Dark Angels” are a group of outcasts whose combined skills make them effective but whose personalities make them unpredictable.
The series brings a different energy from the City of a Hundred Rows books, trading vertical cityscapes for the open expanse of space. Whates keeps the character focus that marks his other work while expanding the scope to galactic scale.
