Marine First Lieutenant Jacob Brown didn’t sign up for boredom. But babysitting a ragtag scout team on a broken-down shuttle wasn’t exactly the action-packed career he imagined.
Then orders drop. No rest, no refit. Just a new mission: hunt down a Terran cruiser gone rogue deep in hostile space.
The Eagle’s Talon has vanished into the heart of the newly conquered Eshquarian Empire, where a rebel fleet is gathering strength. If the Talon is found among them, Earth faces all-out war.
With only a battered ship, a team held together by duct tape and sarcasm, and enemies on all sides, Jacob has one shot to find the Talon before the shooting starts.
The clock is ticking. And in this war, failure isn’t an option, it’s annihilation.
