About this listen
A daring rescue. Rocky alliances. And the fires of war.
Aaron Havenes and the Capitals barely survived the Imperial assault of Vanguard. And now one of their own is held captive. To get her back, Aaron seeks the help of pirate and smuggler Fiona McCorty.
Fiona lost her power, her station, and now a friend to Imperial guns. Blinded by revenge, all she wants is a clean shot at the man responsible. Aaron can give that to her, but only if she helps in this foolish rescue mission.
And that means going back to where it all began—leaving Vanguard behind, venturing deep into Imperial-controlled space—back to where the Capitals are made.
Neither of them are ready for what they must face there....
Aaron's journey as a Capital concludes with this explosive chapter.

Story
After more than 20 years in special operations, USMC Gunnery Sergeant Wolf Mathison wasn’t looking forward to retirement when—implanted with an experimental artificial intelligence—he deployed on his last mission with a platoon of Marine Raiders being sent to the Jovian moon Europa. The USS Jefferson was destroyed en route, though, and only Mathison and three other marines survived. Trapped in stasis, they were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system, where they wouldn’t be found for hundreds of years.

If I’m to restore the druids to their former glory, I’ll need a safe place to train my recruits. Ideally, someplace where they won’t get curb-stomped by the gods. I can’t think of a better place to hide out than an alternate timeline where the gods and fae are too busy fighting a civil war to bother with little old me. So, it’s time to head back, settle old scores, clear the alternate timeline Earth of the undead, and plant some new druid groves.

This is the story of a people who have lost the political fight, they've lost the culture wars, they haven't seen a level playing field in a generation, and they are about to be made serfs. None of that matters. They're leaving....

Jack must abandon his nice guy persona, or exploit it, if he is to survive.
