Upon returning from the alien planet, the remaining crew of the USCS Tempest never could have anticipated this: Their ship is in impeccable condition, almost like it never left space dock. Due to a unique distortion in the planet’s atmosphere, Cas, Evie, and the rest of the crew who visited the planet missed the last 18 years of history. But just because those who stayed aboard had time to repair the ship, doesn’t mean all is good. The truth of what happened in those 18 years may be more than any of them are ready to handle.

Battle lines have been drawn, and forces have been gathered. But are Cas, Evie, and the rest of the crew of the USCS Tempest ready to engage the deadliest enemy they’ve ever had to face?

He has to face the fact he’s become an outsider and that’s who he’ll always be. He has no place on a Coalition starship anymore. But the mission must continue and until it’s complete, he’s stuck on board. Will he find a way to cope, or will the ghosts of his mistakes drive him mad first?

Having survived his encounter with the mysterious Sil race, Caspian and the crew of the USCS Tempest receive a new assignment: investigate the threat emerging far beyond the Coalition’s borders.

It was just supposed to be one job. But once the Coalition has you, they never let go.... Caspian Robeaux thought his troubles were over when he disrupted the Coalition’s plans and the person who had betrayed him found himself behind bars. But life is rarely so simple. Now the Coalition has a new mission for him, one that takes him right back into the heart of the enemy who helped cost him his freedom. The question is, can he step up to the challenge, or will his past continue to determine his future?
