Her story began in the national bestsellers A
Soldier’s Duty and An Officer’s Duty. Now Ia is
captain and commander at the helm of Hellfire, where
she is finally free to chart the course for the fulfillment
of her destiny…
As captain, Ia must now
assemble a crew that can rise to the ultimate challenge of
saving the galaxy. The hardest part will be getting them to
believe her, to trust in her prophecies. If they don’t, her
own crew will end up being the biggest obstacle in her race
against time.
The Salik are breaking through the
Blockade, plunging the known galaxy into war. Ia cannot stop
it this time, nor does she want to. This is the terrible
price she has seen all along—that some must pay with their
lives so that others might live. Now only time itself can
prove whether each member of her crew is merely a soldier or
truly one of Ia’s Damned.
