The Last Stand Of Hope

Noah Beckett saved Earth.

Sort of.

It’s complicated.

There were explosions. There were levitating aliens. There were a lot of swords.

Now, Noah has been promoted from “panicked survivor” to a Commander in the Resistance.

After his first mission is a complete disaster, he finds himself a prisoner on the one planet even the galaxy’s most dangerous criminals avoid:

Hell.

There, Noah is conscripted into service under the Saradar, a tyrant who plays god in the dust. Noah is forced into gladiatorial combat, interspecies politics, and an upsetting encounter with a fire monster.

With the survivors of his crew, the opinionated sword Stabby, and an arena full of things that want to stab, bite, or vaporize him, Noah must survive, escape and somehow not accidentally blow up the planet.

The Resistance is counting on him.
