An action-packed new military sci-fi from Rick Partlow, bestselling author of Drop Trooper and Taken to the Stars.

The fleet expected a scapegoat. They got a renegade.

Cole Ransom, Captain of the ICA cruiser Mistral, is a man with a checkered past and a crew of misfits held together by loyalty and stolen parts. He’s made a career bending the rules.

And after being blamed for an incident that nearly restarted a galactic war, he’s used to being the Fleet’s favorite scapegoat.

But when a routine investigation leads Cole to stumble upon a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the United Systems Senate, everything changes.

He’s the only thing standing between a rogue supersoldier program built from illegal human augmentation and a cyborg army.

Hunted across outlaw worlds and outgunned at every turn, Cole must decide how far he’s willing to go—and what he’s willing to sacrifice—to stop a war no one is ready for.

Jump into the next epic military science fiction series from Rick Partlow, filled with the high-octane space fleet combat, realistic military tactics, explosive space marine action, and heroes you can’t help but root for. This is military Sci-Fi the way it’s meant to be!
