A young fleet officer and a Marine stand together to
defend their colony in the continuation of the powerful and
action-packed Genesis Fleet saga from New York Times
bestselling author Jack Campbell.
In the three years since former fleet officer Rob Geary and
former Marine Mele Darcy led improvised forces to repel
attacks on the newly settled world of Glenlyon, tensions
have only gotten worse.
When one of Glenlyon's warships is blown apart trying to
break the blockade that has isolated the world from the rest
of human-colonized space, only the destroyer Saber remains
to defend it from another attack. Geary's decision to take
Saber to the nearby star Kosatka to safeguard a diplomatic
mission is a risky interpretation of his orders, to say the
least.
Kosatka has been fighting a growing threat from so-called
rebels--who are actually soldiers from aggressive colonies.
When a "peacekeeping force" carrying thousands of enemy
soldiers arrives in Kosatka's star system, the people of
that world, including Lochan Nakamura and former "Red"
Carmen Ochoa, face an apparently hopeless battle to retain
their freedom.
It's said that the best defense is a good offense. But even
if a bold and risky move succeeds, Geary and Darcy may not
survive it...
