They gifted humanity the stars.
They also gave us rules.
When a dying alien race arrives at Earth, they leave behind something unimaginable—starships capable of faster-than-light travel. Humanity can finally reach the galaxy.
There’s only one condition.
Under the Guardian Protocol, humans must never cross a two-thousand-light-year boundary.
No explanation.
No negotiation.
Just a warning.
Commander Eli Rourke is given command of the U.S.S. Moctobi, a warship never meant to operate alone. When an international flotilla disappears beyond the boundary, Rourke’s task force is sent to investigate.
What they find is not an accident.
It’s a signal.
A trap.
And evidence that humanity was not the first species to receive the Gift.
Cut off from help and hunted by an enemy wielding stolen alien technology, Rourke must lead his crew through battles they were never meant to fight. To survive—and to warn Earth—he must decide whether to obey the Guardian Protocol…
Or break the only law keeping humanity alive.
Because the truth behind the Gift is far darker than anyone imagined.
Perfect for readers who enjoy the fleet command tension of The Lost Fleet and the grounded intensity of Old Man’s War.
Genre: Science Fiction
