Desperate to survive, the Piecer Corp plan was initiated; thousands upon thousands of DNA manipulated recruits were created to defend Earth. But they needed adult soldiers fast, so they adjusted their DNA to create the “Sixers;” grown adult soldiers in as little as six years.

The Sixers were merciless and they beat the aliens back to their home world.

Less than three months have passed since Captain Charlotte Omandi and the crew of Earth’s first starship, the TSS Bladerunner, narrowly prevented an extinction-level event from wiping out humanity.

As she and her crew prepare to become the first humans to travel outside our solar system, a string of assassination attempts lead them to an unlikely mystery.

A half millennia ago, Siolene’s enemies took everything from her, including, they thought, her life. Against all odds, she survived in cryo stasis, and thanks to the pirate captain who rescued her, she built a new family and a new life as Queen of Ajen. But old enmities die hard, and when the lives of her children are threatened, there is only one choice left for her: Siolene must trust in her found family, in her husband, and in his enigmatic fixer as they return to face the enemy on his own ground. It may cost her everything she’s built, but Siolene cannot fail.
