Synopsis
After barely surviving the alien attack that destroyed a training fleet, the crew of the TNS Horizon returns with the only firsthand knowledge of humanity’s new enemy. Instead of answers, they find uncertainty. Alliance leadership debates what to do while the reality of war settles in. Then a vital colony goes dark. Hamish’s Point is home to hundreds, and a weapons factory the Alliance cannot afford to lose. When communication suddenly stops, the Horizon becomes the only ship with the experience to investigate. Young, untested, and still reeling from their first battle, Elias Renn and his crew must uncover what happened before the colony is lost. Because if the attackers escape with what they came for, the coming war may already be decided.
