A Nominee for the 2022 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary must battle dangers both within and without the Alliance, in this exciting continuation of the New York Times bestselling series. Geary knows that some political factions in the Alliance were just trying to get rid of him when he was assigned to escort a diplomatic and scientific mission to the far reaches of humanity’s expansion into the galaxy . . . and beyond. But he views his mission as both a duty and an opportunity to make things better wherever he can. And when a crippled Rift Federation ship tumbles out of jump space, Geary leaps into action. But the survivors’ story isn’t completely adding up. As Geary investigates, he soon finds himself fending off spies and assassins while leading the fleet as it fights its way across space controlled by the mysterious and hostile aliens whom humans call enigmas. Challenges arrive at every turn, including an unknown alien species that invites the fleet to visit one of their star systems. With little information to go on, Geary must weigh the benefits of potential new allies against the possibility of a trap. The fate of the fleet—and perhaps even the future of humanity—will depend on him making the right decision. If he can stay alive long enough to do that.
Upłynęły trzy lata od wydarzeń na Glenlyon, kiedy Rob Geary oraz Mele Darcy
stanęli na czele zorganizowanych naprędce sił zbrojnych, aby odeprzeć atak na
swoją kolonię.Jednak z trudem zażegnany konflikt wybucha ponownie, gdy
Glenlyon podejmuje próbę utworzenia szlaku handlowego. Odizolowana,
osamotniona kolonia pokłada nadzieje w nieformalnych umowach z innymi
światami, mierzącymi się z podobnym zagrożeniem. Jednak światy zażarcie
broniące swej niezależności, niełatwo przekonać do tego rodzaju zobowiązań.
Podczas gdy politycy usiłują zawrzeć formalny układ, Geary i Darcy po raz
kolejny muszą podjąć desperacką walkę w obronie swojego domu w nadziei, że
wytrwają, dopóki nie przybędzie pomoc.O ile w ogóle jakaś pomoc przybędzie.
The New York Times-bestselling series continues as Admiral 'Black Jack' Geary
commands the fleet deep into alien space and leads humanity to the galactic
stage.
Atak na stację orbitalną Glenlyonu jest zbyt potężny, by Rob Geary mógł
odeprzeć go z pomocą jedynego pozostałego niszczyciela. Oddziały piechoty
kosmicznej pod dowództwem Mele Darcy muszą odpierać kolejne fale ataków
podczas gdy genialna hakerka usiłuje włamać się do systemów nieprzyjaciela,
aby dać ostatniemu glenlyońskiemu okrętowi wojennemu jakąkolwiek szansę na
walkę. By przetrwać, Glenlyon potrzebuje większej siły ognia, a posiada ją
jedynie sąsiednia Kosatka oraz systemy do tej pory zachowujące neutralność.
Jednak na Kosatce nadal trwają walki z niedobitkami nieprzyjacielskich wojsk,
a wysyłając na pomoc jedyny ocalały niszczyciel, planeta pozostanie bezbronna
wobec kolejnego najazdu. Desperackie próby zjednoczenia wszystkich kolonii
wobec przeważających sił wroga wydają się skazane na porażkę. Jest to jednak
jedyna, nawet jeśli nikła, szansa na przetrwanie. Suwerenne systemy mogą
zjednoczyć się w nowy Sojusz i stanąć do walki. Mogą też zachować swoją
niepodległość i upaść. Trzeciej drogi nie ma.
