The Reckoning Series

Captain William Brighton has been entrusted by his superiors with a revolutionary starship, one destined to change the face of the known universe. With it, no place is too far to explore. But such a prize turns out to be too intoxicating for others to ignore. The competition manages to infiltrate Brighton's team and take control of the ship.

Monica Samuels is in trouble. Just six weeks after her graduation from the Warner Naval Academy, Pathfinder, her ship, was stolen by other members of the crew. They round up everyone and put them off the ship, but at the last minute, her captain sends her back to join with the thieves. No instructions, no plans, no weapons, no backup. What was Captain Brighton thinking?

Commodore William Brighton was sure that losing his ship, WNS Pathfinder, to thieves within his own crew was the worst thing he would ever have to deal with. Now he knows that his ordeal is just beginning. As soon as he makes it back to Earth, the chase is on to find and retrieve Pathfinder. But the longer he spends in pursuit, the more evidence he uncovers that the enemies of his government are more numerous and better prepared than anyone on Earth is aware.

In what should have been friendly territory, Brighton finds himself surrounded by enemy warships. The Forrest Family knows all too well how much is riding on the outcome of the battle that is taking shape, and they are pulling out all the stops to keep the ship for themselves. The stakes are just as high for Brighton and his dauntless officers and crew.
