In the year 2194, seventeen-year-old Nicholas Seafort is just a midshipman aboard the Hibernia, bound for the thriving colony of Hope Nation. But when a rescue mission goes catastrophically wrong, Seafort finds himself thrust into an unthinkable position: leadership.
Unprepared and resented by the ship’s officers, Seafort must navigate crises that test his resolve and ingenuity. From a malfunctioning navigation system to a deadly epidemic sweeping through the crew, every decision carries life-or-death consequences. And even Hope Nation, their destination, hides dangers they could never have imagined.
Inspired by the likes of Robert Heinlein and Orson Scott Card, with echoes of Horatio Hornblower, this gripping debut in the Seafort Saga is a high-stakes tale of duty, survival, and courage in the vastness of space.
