War rarely announces itself.

John Harrigan was twelve years old when it came to Mars and took his mother.

Twenty-four years later, he has given everything to Astro Corps, the elite space organization tasked with protecting Earth and the other members of the Galactic Alliance. It is his purpose. His identity. His answer to a wound that never fully closed.

Now he has his own command: ASC Galaxy, the Corps’ newest elite warship. And the war he has spent a lifetime preparing for has finally come.

The Zontaerian Empire is moving. Old enemies are rising with them. Together, they are coming for Earth, and Galaxy stands in their path.

Harrigan’s crew is untested. The odds are not in their favor, but the line must be held.

Survival is not guaranteed.

It will be earned.

Honor to those who endure, so others will rise.

Looking for

ARC reader: An ARC (Advance Reader Copy) is essentially ready to publish. It is fine to flag the occasional small typo or grammar slip, but the author is not looking for developmental feedback at this stage. Authors cannot require a review, but it is customary for ARC readers to post an honest review on release day or shortly after.
