The war against Ryland is going well–but the dictator will destroy everything he can before the last defenses collapse. He’s got the former leaders of Ryland in a secret prison, and Jeff Yi has a new mission: sneak down to an embattled planet and save Ryland’s best and brightest before they can be murdered.

Barely recovered from his injuries and still in the sights of the fascist traitors in the Wukan navy, Jeff Yi is again placed in command of his own ship and sent on a dangerous mission deep within enemy territory. Haunted by memories of those who died under his command, Yi struggles to come to grips with the reality of war and the possibility of betrayal from within his own ranks. If he fails to uncover the Ryland plot, more than his life may be at stake. Light of a Distant Sun is the exciting sequel to Stars Like Cold Fire.

After Jeff Yi escaped from the hell of the naval academy, he thought his troubles were behind him.

Instead of obscurity, he is given a command of his own - acting captain of the smallest, ugliest ship in the fleet. As war looms, Yi must win over a hostile crew and face his own demons while battling an implacable foe.
