GALACTIC WAR ERUPTS
Early in the twenty-ninth century, the powerful Combined Systems Alliance continues to suppress the pioneering Free Planetary Union, annexing their colonies as they grow. In a bid to wrest control, Union agents throughout the Alliance Navy launch an insurgency, seizing countless military assets. During the chaos, hundreds of ships and millions of lives are lost.
Former Commander Tanic Sandorn is recalled to active duty and propelled to the front lines, he must face the looming threat of annihilation as well as the anxiety of his past. This time, he will protect his crew from the impending threat. Never again will he leave anyone behind.
