New York Times bestselling author Jack Cambell's space saga hits lightspeed with an action-packed story of interstellar war.
Admiral John "Black Jack" Geary earned his rank after being revived
from cryogenic sleep to lead the Alliance to victory against the
Syndicate Worlds. But his superiors question his loyalty to the regime.
Now in command of the First Fleet, Geary is tasked with exploring the
frontier beyond Syndic space, a mission he fears deliberately puts the
fleet--and himself - in harm's way.
An encounter with the alien
Enigmas confirms Gear'y fears. Attacked without warning, he orders the
fleet to jump star systems - only to enter the crosshairs of another
hostile alien armada. Ignoring all of the First Fleet's attempts to
communicate peaceful intentions, this system's species send their ships
into battle on suicde runs, while guarding the exiting jump point with a
fortress of incalculable power.
Now, with a faction of his
officers determined to eliminate this new threat despite the cost, Geary
must figure out how to breech the enemy's defenses so the fleet can
reach the jump point without massive casualties - and knowing that the
Enigmas are most likely waiting on the other side...
