The war is over, but Captain James Somerville’s mission has just begun.
When former Chinese intelligence minister and war criminal Chang vanishes into deep space, Somerville is tasked with tracking him down—alone. Commanding the HMS Endeavour, the Royal Space Navy’s newest exploration cruiser, he ventures to the far edge of known space.
But what begins as a manhunt soon unearths secrets that could shatter humanity’s place in the galaxy. With old enemies lurking and new threats emerging, Somerville must navigate diplomatic firestorms and brutal skirmishes—often outnumbered, always outgunned.
In deep space, honor has a cost.
A King’s Ship is a gripping installment in the Empire Rising series, perfect for fans of Honor Harrington and The Expanse who love high-stakes naval strategy in the stars.
