Publisher Description

Accidental revolutionaries. Charlie and the others hadn't set out to free the galaxy, but fate had other plans…and so did the ancient AI robot, Lenny, who brought them together. And brought them to Sanctuary.

Now, a whole planet of Copperell refugees looks to Charlie for leadership and his first task as their commander is to find weapons to arm the AI-guided zoo ships that are their only military fleet. And only the Anguilar have the weapons they need.

For once, the operation goes off without a hitch, but during the mop-up, they discover the secret of a terrible superweapon the Anguilar have spent the last ten years constructing: The Nova Eclipse.

It can destroy entire worlds, lay waste to solar systems, and it's already claimed its first victims. And the next target is Strada.

The Eclipse is massive, heavily armed and always accompanied by a deadly escort of Anguilar cruisers, and even with the weapons they stole, they'd never be able to take the force on in a stand-up fight.

Charlie and the others have no choice but to do things the sneaky way, infiltrate the Eclipse…and destroy it from within. Or die trying.
