I'll tie in to an earlier thread. In Glen Cook's Starfishers (plus
Passage at
Arms) series, *spoiler alert*

An alien threat is discovered which strikes me as very similar to that
in "The
Fleet" i.e. a territorially expansionistic, fanatically xenophobic,
technologically advanced species is working its way rimwards from the
galactic
core. We're in the way. Much of the action of the second two in the
series
(Starfisher and Star's End) turn out to revolve around attempts to
acquire
ancient weapons to help stop the advancing threat-species. The books
leave off
without the threat being resolved, although another problem gets very
permanently resolved. Maybe, now that the Black Company series has
concluded
(if he writes another of those, he's out there past Philip K Dick - but
I'll
haunt ebay for advance reader copies) just maybe, he'll go back to SF
and do
more with the series - it does have SEQUEL stamped in big red letters on
the
last page.
