In his acclaimed military science fiction debut series, Dave Bara takes readers on a thrilling journey filled with discovery, diplomacy, and danger. Newlyweds Peter Cochrane and Karina are on a diplomatic mission to Sandosa, an old ally of Pendax, the latest member of the Union. Their mission quickly turns perilous when Sandosa's government attacks Peter's command, Defiant, and attempts to assassinate them. Peter must use all his resources to protect his wife and their ship. Just as the situation escalates, Defiant is diverted to Skondar, where Peter's former love, Dobrina Kierkopf, and her ship, Impulse II, are under assault by the notorious Prince Arin, known as the Butcher of Carinthia. Although they fend off Arin's attack, the consequences are severe. Peter soon finds himself heading to the enigmatic world of Altos, uncovering unsettling truths about the Union's allies, the Historians of Earth. Each encounter with Arin and his forces leaves Peter and the Union Navy reeling as they pursue this elusive enemy. Ultimately, all paths lead to a climactic showdown where Peter and Arin will clash over the fate of humanity—Union or Empire.

alliance hoped it would never see again.
"The Rim rebellion was glorious-and doomed from the start. Brilliant Rim Confederation Navy spaceship captain Jared Clement skuttled his career and professional life by joining the rebels against the overwhelming force of the 5 Suns Alliance. The rebel cause was just. That didn't matter. Ten years later, Clement regrets nothing, but would prefer to be left alone to his thoughts and drink. But a new chance to command a ship of incredible potential is thrust in his lap-humanity's first truly faster-than-light vessel. The destination: Trinity, a newly discovered star system where strange signs of possible spacefarers may lead to humanity's first alien encounter. Or to interstellar war. Humanity is on the brink of a new age, and everything depends on one crusty starship captain, his gritty crew, and the Beauregard, a ship that was never meant to wage war turned into a weapon-bristling battleship that will either propel humanity to ultimate destruction-or into a new starfaring age of exploration and conflict. And along the way, a noble lost cause-one Captain Jared Clement-may finally get his revenge. And find his redemption"-- Provided by publisher
