Commander Elias Browning's career was all but over. Then command of an Acheron Confederation warship was thrust into his hands at the worst possible moment.
He wasn't supposed to be in charge. But abandoning his crew was never an option.
When the Jordani Empire discovers a hidden colony world in a remote sector, Browning is ordered to stand down and let it fall. Millions of lives sacrificed to keep a fragile peace between two star nations.
He refuses.
Outgunned and alone, Browning breaks the chain of command and jumps his ship toward a fight he isn't expected to survive. Victory will cost him. Failure will cost more than the colony.
Because the colony holds more than civilians. Somewhere on its surface, a brilliant young scientist has built something no one fully understands. It could be Browning's only edge. If the Jordani get it first, the war is over before it starts, and every Confederation world will pay for it.
Now he has to hold together a crew that didn't choose him and work with an intelligence agent he doesn't trust.
Somewhere in the dark between the stars, the Empire's most dangerous warship is already hunting him. Its captain has never lost. Every jump becomes a gamble, and every mistake could be the last.
To win, Browning will need the kind of thinking that nearly ended his career, and a last stand that could cost him everything.
Dive into the first book in a new military science fiction series, packed with tense ship-to-ship duels, impossible command decisions, ancient technology, and a defiant crew fighting for a colony no one else will save
Genre: Science Fiction
