Humanity stands on the edge of extinction, and only one man has a shot at saving it.
Captain Jim Garrett didn’t join the navy to babysit a half-finished ship. Once a rising star, he’s now stuck commanding the CNS Surprise, an experimental warship languishing in a dockyard. But when humanity’s relentless alien nemesis attacks ahead of schedule, the Surprise becomes our only hope.
With the fleet in chaos and no time to wait for reinforcements, Garrett is thrust into a role he never expected—and some would say doesn’t deserve. His crew is untested, his ship unfinished, and the enemy unstoppable.
Can Garrett overcome his failures, master cutting-edge technology, and rally his team to launch a counterattack that might just save mankind? Or will this be humanity’s last stand?
