After a cataclysmic interstellar war that came very close to
exterminating humanity, the Daybreak Republic has risen from the
ashes and embarked upon a mission to unite hundreds of human colony
worlds under its banner, in hopes of preventing a second and final
conflict that will complete the destruction of the human race. But
not everyone agrees that the empire’s ends justify the means.
In the aftermath of Leo Morningstar’s last mission, war has erupted
between the Daybreak Republic and the Secessionist Alliance,
stretching the navy’s resources to the breaking point. Admiral
Blackthrone’s fleet is pinned down, unable to go on the offensive
without leaving key worlds exposed, as rebels raid shipping lines
and make Daybreak look weak ahead of a major assault. Desperate to
break the stalemate before it is too late, Admiral Blackthrone
places Leo Morningstar in command of a ragtag fleet of outdated
starships and charges him with harassing the enemy, buying time for
the navy to assemble the force they need to strike back.
But with resentful subordinates within his fleet and enemy plans
finally coming into the light, it may be too late to save the sector
– or Daybreak itself.
