An entire naval task force, gone without a trace...

When a battleship and its escorts mysteriously disappear near a contested area of space, they leave no clues behind, and their own Navy is preparing for war and can’t spare the resources to find them.

Which wouldn’t really matter to ex-Navy Captain Brad Mendoza. He finally has all he ever wanted: a ship, a crew, and the most beautiful woman in the galaxy as his girlfriend. Seriously, can life get any better?

But that’s when Carla Mendoza, his ex-wife, appears, begging Brad for help to find the missing task force and its flag captain, the man she left Brad for. Still, it’s an easy no, except that Carla has a clue, a mysterious note, that Brad can’t ignore.

Now Brad and Jessica are in way over their heads as they find themselves playing detective while also dodging their own Navy and an enemy force, both of whom would love to see them dead. And it’s only with a ton of dumb luck that they’ll get out of this one.

Skyler Ramirez

Skyler Ramirez’s imagination knows no bounds, and their work within the science fiction genre proves it. Drawing readers into expansive worlds full of political intrigue, high-stakes conflict, and unforgettable characters, Skyler has quickly carved a unique space in the literary landscape. With a passion for storytelling that blends intense space operas and intimate character-driven narratives, their writing taps into the universal themes of power, loyalty, and survival.

Skyler’s journey as an author began with a fascination for the farthest reaches of space, where humanity’s reach often exceeds its grasp. This love for sci-fi grew over the years, fueling a desire to create worlds that feel as real as the one we inhabit, yet full of possibilities we can only dream of. With each new novel, Skyler expands upon intricate galaxies and star nations, blending fast-paced action with thought-provoking philosophical questions.

The A Star Nation in Peril series, one of their most notable works, is a powerful example of Skyler's ability to merge deep world-building with dynamic, relatable characters. It’s a story of political unrest, shifting alliances, and the tension between personal and collective survival—offering readers not only an adventure through the stars but also a reflection on the nature of power, loyalty, and betrayal.

For Skyler, writing is more than just a creative outlet—it’s an exploration of what it means to fight for something greater than oneself. As they continue to weave complex plots and characters, their works resonate with fans who crave multifaceted narratives that explore the human condition in the context of expansive universes.

When they aren’t crafting galaxies and star systems, Skyler can be found in the midst of a good book, exploring new genres and ideas to inspire their next stories. Their writing style is as much a reflection of their curiosity about the universe as it is a tribute to their love for the unknown, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible while keeping readers grounded in the emotional truths of their characters.

Skyler Ramirez’s works promise a journey—one that’s as much about discovering new worlds as it is about discovering what it truly means to be human in the vastness of the universe.
