Stars End

Alliance Navy Commander Grayson Stone is patrolling a nearby space station, when a mysterious starship appears. It emerges from a storm of fire, its shields impenetrable, its weapons overwhelming, attacking without provocation and annihilating everything in its path. While his ship is badly damaged in the assault, Grayson manages to survive. Suddenly trapped behind the front line of the invasion and faced with gut-wrenching choices and near-impossible odds, he'll do whatever it takes to escape the grasp of the terrifying new enemy.

Alliance Navy Commander Grayson Stone is a prisoner. His encounter with the alien invaders is behind him, a reckoning years in the making ahead. War in the galaxy is about to explode in a way he never imagined. The fate of humankind rests on a razor’s edge. He won’t remain idle. One way or another, he’s determined to escape. To send warning of the imminent assault and sound the call to this new war.

Events on Naraka leave Grayson exhausted but hopeful. The invaders may not be as unstoppable as he thought, and the entire weight of the Alliance is about to enter the fray. Rejoining the Navy should bring closure to his ordeal and allow him to return to his life as a pilot. Except his mesh partner is still stranded on a freezing planet. Except his past refuses to let go of his future. Except the man he trusted to rally the defenses may have sabotaged them instead.

The enemy marches on. While hope is fading, all is not lost. Grayson has information that could change the outcome of the war. He's beaten but not broken and ready to rejoin the fight. Except, his failing starship is weeks away from the nearest port. Except, slowing the aliens means convincing sworn enemies to join forces in a fight they cannot win. Except, his only chance at victory may rest in a derelict ship floating beyond the edge of space.
