Set on several planets in the galaxy of Zaundos, this science-fiction/fantasy follows the war between the Syndicate of Worlds Intent of Fighting Tyranny and the Black Spear Confederation. In the air, land, and sea, key figures in the conflict struggle with the enemy, but in their hearts and minds the battle of their personal demons and connections unfold as well. Enhancing Threat sees the continuation of the war that began in the first book as the true state of the enemy the Syndicate faces becomes more clear—but clarity brings more unease than comfort.

Enhancing Threat is the second installment of Ryan R. Liberty's S.W.I.F.T. series. In this science-fiction/fantasy action-adventure, the reader is taken to the distant, mystical galaxy of Zaundos, where war rages on between the Syndicate of Worlds Intent on Fighting Tyranny and the newly-emerged Black Spear Confederation. However, things may not be as they seem, and new foes may not be as new as once thought. As Raymond and Katie fight one front of the war, WINX and Angela venture into darkness, facing more dangers than just enemy troops. With their forces stretching thin, the Syndicate seeks out a new ally to assist in one of the theaters of battle. Bonds are formed in the heat of battle, loyalties are tested, fears from the past are brought to the present, and nightmares creep into reality as the war unfolds.

Ryan R. Liberty is a young adult from a small town in Missouri, USA with a passion for history, science-fiction, and (at least pseudo-) realistic depictions of weaponry and the arts thereof. He has worked on the S.W.I.F.T. series—including the first installment, A War's Dawn, and all upcoming continuations—for a long time, some basic ideas starting in elementary school.
