About this series
Spacecraft engineers have one job… make it fly.
When a mysterious spacecraft with alien technology takes her best friend prisoner, junior engineer Cassiopeia Requin will stop at nothing to get her back.
Reassigned to a brand new deep space cruiser, Cassi and her crew jump on a chance that might be their only opportunity to capture the alien spacecraft. But when they end up transiting into the accretion disk around a black hole, their cruiser is catastrophically damaged, and their chain of command is fractured.
Predators become prey as alien drones close in and cut through the remains of their hull in a desperate fight for working technology. Cassi must improvise, adapt, and use every engineering skill she's learned to hold both her spacecraft and her team together as they spiral toward the event horizon and make a desperate attempt to escape the unrelenting gravitational pull of a black hole.

- First Command: Alliance Cadets, #1
1
More than anything astronaut cadet Cassi Requin wants to earn a position in the Alliance Expeditionary Fleet. And she's almost made it. But during an interstellar training flight Cassi investigates a distress call, directly disobeying the orders of her instructors. In doing so she leads her crew into a pirate trap, a battle, and a disaster of a crash on the surface of an alien world. With the only qualified astronauts on board locked in survival stasis, Cassi is promoted into her first command—rank, authority, and responsibility. Food and water are in short supply. Their spacecraft hull is compromised. Rescue is light years away. With bloodthirsty pirates in pursuit, Cassi must lead her crew across hostile ground seething with predators to seek the safety of a remote survey outpost that might be their only chance to return home.
- Fractured Command: Alliance Cadets, #2
