Publisher Description

Bestseller Rick Partlow is back with an explosive military science fiction adventure filled with tactical space combat.

To save the future, he must stand against his own Fleet.

Cole Ransom, Captain of the ICA cruiser Mistral, is a man with a checkered past and a crew of misfits held together by loyalty and stolen parts. He's made a career bending the rules.

And after being blamed for an incident that nearly restarted a galactic war, he's used to being the Fleet’s favorite scapegoat.

But when a routine investigation leads Cole to stumble upon a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the United Systems Senate, everything changes.

He's the only thing standing between a rogue supersoldier program built from illegal human augmentation and a cyborg army.

Hunted across outlaw worlds and outgunned at every turn, Cole must decide how far he's willing to go—and what he's willing to sacrifice—to stop a war no one is ready for.

The orders are illegal. The mission is suicide. The Captain is a Renegade.

Jump into the next epic military science fiction series from Rick Partlow (Drop Trooper), filled with tactical space fleet combat, realistic military strategy, explosive action, and heroes you can't help but root for.

This is military Sci-Fi the way it's meant to be!
