If humanity is to survive, the alien T'Kharr must be stopped... even if it means sacrificing tens of thousands. Grand Commander Brandon North and his fleet must liberate a research facility taken by mankind's most ruthless and deadly enemy, the T'Kharr. The new technology developed there cannot be allowed to swing the decades-long war in the enemy's favor, even if it means sacrificing tens of thousands of lives... including his own. Reminiscent of David Weber's Honor Harrington, John Scalzi's Old Man's War, and John Ringo's Posleen Trilogy & Cally's War, this thrilling debut novel will appeal to all fans of military space sci-fi, intrigue, and bloodthirsty aliens bent on humanity's subjugation or destruction-whichever comes first.
