Two years after Dauntless limped home from the massacre that ignited the Pirate War, the United Confederation of Planets demands vengeance.
Courageous, Defiant, and their supporting battle groups jump to Ross 128b to make the enemy bleed.
They expect a fight.
They get a slaughter.
The instant they translate in-system, a merciless pirate armada ambushes them. Courageous is overrun by wave after wave of boarders while Defiant fights to keep the void itself from closing. Outnumbered, outgunned, facing odds that make the Mars horror seem merciful, three thousand spacers, pilots, and Marines have one thing left—the creed that once saved Dauntless:
Duty. Honor. Selfless Commitment.
“I am Courageous.”
“I am Defiant.”
In the killing void of Ross 128b, those words must become weapons—or they will be the final transmission of shattered fleets.
