About this ebook

The newly promoted captain, David Alexander, takes command of his first crew and starship on a multifaceted mission of diplomacy, intelligence gathering, and dangerous first contacts. He and his crew are searching out a dangerous and subversive new enemy to the Commonwealth, the ruling power in the galaxy. After finding and eluding the enemy on the ship's first contact, David discovers the enemy is now stalking him and his crew with warnings of impending doom.

 

A loyal Commonwealth soldier, David resists his enemies' attempts to seduce him to change sides. On his second mission, David finds himself at the mercy of a primitive group of savages intent on killing him. His only hope is his sworn enemy, but what is the price for saving his life?

 

David learns that his enemy, Arni Liontari, has gone out of his way to protect him and his crew. Could the Commonwealth's Intel be wrong or is the enemy more dangerous than he realized? Get on board the Evangeline, now, before it's too late.
