It started with an attack on a research station near the
frontier region, the furthest portion of the Outer Sphere of
Unified space. Then, one by one, subsequent border systems began to
fall victim to the unknown attackers. Months went by before anyone
in the Unified Collaboration of Systems realized what was
happening. By then, it was too late.
The Kafaran had arrived.
The fighting between the two factions raged on for nearly five
years. Hundreds of thousands perished, and millions of innocent
beings lost their homes.
Then, nearly as quickly as the war had started, the Kafaran's
inexplicably retreated to an unexplored region of space. Even with
their once expansive foothold in the Milky Way now lying in ruins,
it seemed to the once peaceful UCS that victory was finally theirs.
Now, it was time to rebuild.
With the Galactic War now five years in the past, former fighter
pilot Shawn Kestrel wasn't nearly as content in his peacetime life
as he could have been. Not only was his fledgling cargo business
steadily losing customers, his lone interstellar transport was
fatally incapacitated, the victim of a now all too common pirate
attack.
Without warning, the prudish daughter of his former commanding
officer appears, informing Shawn that William has mysteriously
disappeared-apparently the victim of foul play. And, as if things
weren't difficult enough, a Unified Sector Command carrier quickly
arrives to assert the Unified government's own self-guided
interests into the disappearance.
As Shawn endeavors to put all of the pieces together, one thing
becomes terrifyingly clear: the Kafaran are no longer idle.
With the government suspiciously pressing down on him from one
side, and the beautiful and enigmatic daughter driving him on from
the other, Shawn Kestrel must search deep within himself to decide
where his past and present loyalties lie before the universe once
again erupts into all-out war.
