Our take
Lieutenant Justin Spencer’s routine CDF tour turns catastrophic when an old enemy resurfaces with devastating force. The League of Sol isn’t just after victory—it’s out for obliteration.

About the book
Thirty-five years of peace obliterated in an instant.
Lieutenant Justin Spencer thrives on the adrenaline of piloting Coalition Defense Force fighters, even if it’s just for his annual two-week duty. At home, life is quieter—rooted in love for his wife and daughter. But his decision to join the CDF was purely pragmatic: free education, no real risk. War wasn’t part of the deal.
When an unknown enemy blasts through his cockpit’s shields, everything changes. The League of Sol, remnants of a long-despised regime, resurfaces with brutal intent to annihilate the Terran Coalition.
Now Justin faces a fight for survival, with every simulated drill turning into life-or-death combat. Home isn’t just far—it’s unreachable.
Can Justin outmaneuver destruction, or will the battlefield claim everything he holds dear?
