Ark Royal is the title of a 2014 military sci-fi novel by Christopher Nuttall and the trilogy that also includes The Nelson Touch and The Trafalgar Gambit.Seventy years ago the Ark Royal was the pride of Great Britain's Royal Space Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her armor considered to be nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye.But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons. Ark Royal and her mismatched crew must go on the offensive, buying time with their lives. And yet, with a drunkard for a Captain, an over-ambitious first officer and a crew composed of reservists and the dregs of the service, do they have even the faintest hope of surviving......And returning to an Earth which may no longer be there?Eight more books have since been published,Warspite, A Savage War of Peace, and A Small Colonial War are about the adventures of the HMS Warspite under the command of Captain John Naiser during a first contact situation with another alien race and the ensuing political fallout.Vangaurd, Fear God and Dread Naught, and We Lead are about the exploits of HMS Vanguard duirng a third first contact and the resulting Second Interstellar War.Two standalone books set during the Ark Royal trilogy, The Longest Day and The Cruel Stars, are about the Tadpole attack on Earth during The Nelson Touch and an escort carrier crewed with convicts, respectively.Arc Royal arc
