The liberation old worlds…
The addition of new allies…
The fall of a regime…
The death of a trusted friend…
The Aurora begins clearing a 20 light year sphere of safety around Earth, taking out Jung forces as they liberate the core systems. However, Captain Scott and the Alliance quickly discover that not every world wants to be liberated, and the Jung have a few surprises of their own.
The Eden Project was a dream.
To start the first extra-solar colony . . .
To avoid the mistakes of our past . . .
To start anew.
Three generations, born and raised on a starship hurtling through space.
To never know an open sky . . .
To never feel the wind on their face . . .
To never witness the sun rise or set.
It is up to the advance team to set foot on each of these worlds, conduct their surveys, and send their findings back to the colony ship. Everything must go as planned, for the welfare of all the colonists depends on them.
A world recovering from a devastating plague. A brutal enemy threatening invasion. A young man seeking to escape the shadow of his father. A ship manned by a crew of fresh academy graduates. A top secret experimental propulsion system. A questionable alliance with a mysterious green-eyed woman.
What destiny has in store for the crew of the UES Aurora is far greater than any of them could ever imagine. And this is only the beginning…
A new ship . . .
A new crew . . .
A new crisis . . .
A friend at risk . . .
The Confederated Systems Alliance has spread to dozens of systems, creating the first true interstellar alliance dedicated to bringing peace and prosperity to all inhabited worlds. Unfortunately, some see this new alliance as a threat to their own seats of power, and would do anything to stop it.
After a well deserved rest, Captain Nathan Scott is once again called into action. This time, it is not the fate of the galaxy that is on his shoulders, but the life of one of his dearest friends.
But not all is as it appears.
An entire sector in turmoil . . .
Neighbors who appear unconcerned . . .
A favor asked of an old friend . . .
Sacrifices made for the good of humanity . . .
Before they can challenge the Dusahn and prevent them from expanding their empire further, the Karuzari must first gather much-needed resources. But doing so could be more difficult than anticipated.
