A world recovering from a devastating plague. A brutal enemy threatening invasion. A young man seeking to escape the shadow of his father. A ship manned by a crew of fresh academy graduates. A top secret experimental propulsion system. A questionable alliance with a mysterious green-eyed woman. What destiny has in store for the crew of the UES Aurora is far greater than any of them could ever imagine. And this is only the beginning...

New forces grow . . . Old friends are lost . . . New alliances are forged . . . Old weapons are made new . . . With political unrest growing, the Alliance must rush to rebuild their fleet and expand their "sphere of influence" before their support runs out. But when the Jung up the ante, the Alliance must turn up the heat. Captain Nathan Scott and the Sol-Pentaurus Alliance must put everything on the line to save the Sol sector once and for all.

A ship under siege. A world on the brink of civil war. A distraught people seeking a new beginning. A battle-weary crew that can barely hold it together. Even a legend can use a little help from time to time. The crew of the Aurora, the Karuzari, and the Corinairans must find a way to work together, or else they may all perish.

A ship in the hands of their enemy . . . A liberation gone wrong . . . A chance to double their ranks . . . A bold and daring plan . . . Their support from the Pentaurus cluster dwindling fast, the Alliance faces new and unpleasant realities in the Sol sector. But, as they soon discover, untoward changes have the potential to bring unexpected opportunities. The trick is in how you use them.

A newly repaired ship . . . A willing and eager crew . . . A host of new technologies . . . A long anticipated return home . . . The crew of the UES Aurora finally has the chance to fulfill their mission, but first they must complete a long and dangerous journey across a thousand light-years of unexplored space.

A host of new allies . . . A plethora of advanced technologies . . . A daring gamble to advance their forces . . . A chance to retake lost worlds once and for all . . . The Dusahn have been backed into a corner, barely able to hold the worlds of the Pentaurus cluster, let alone the entire sector. Forced to dig in, they may have to resort to drastic measures to save their fledgling empire. Captain Scott must use all his military and diplomatic skills...

A chance to gain resources . . . A need to prepare a defense . . . A trap about to be sprung . . . An opportunity for justice . . . As his sister faces a critical moment, Captain Scott must chase his friends to regions he has yet to travel. Sometimes, you just have to take risks for those you care about. Sometimes, quite often.

An entire sector in turmoil . . . Neighbors who appear unconcerned . . . A favor asked of an old friend . . . Sacrifices made for the good of humanity . . . Before they can challenge the Dusahn and prevent them from expanding their empire further, the Karuzari must first gather much-needed resources. But doing so could be more difficult than anticipated.

Heartfelt reunions with friends...Desperate plans to gain advantage...Opportunities that cannot be ignored...Discovery of family once thought lost... The time has come for Captain Scott to fight for that which was taken...the very freedom of the world he was sworn to protect.

Stranded on an inhospitable planet . . . Lost in an unknown time . . . Faced with an unfamiliar galaxy . . . And a dear friend nearing death . . . Nathan Scott and the crew of the Aurora must make alliances quickly, or they will lose one of their own.
