Having successfully repelled the Resistance incursion into the Sol system, Terran Fleet Command must now deal with the far-flung worlds of the Sajeth Collective, which sponsored the attack. Task forces are dispatched to Damara and Lesheera to begin the first Human blockades of entire planets. With the only ships fast enough to quickly bring the fight to the enemy’s doorstep, TFC must do so alone, leaving only minimal forces behind to safeguard the Earth. At home, Humanity finally makes its decision regarding membership in the Pelaran Alliance. At the same time, the Guardian makes a decision of its own, calling the entire purpose behind its five-hundred-year mission into question. On the far side of Sajeth Collective space, the newly formed Crowned Republic of Graca experiments with technology so revolutionary that it attracts the attention of a powerful new enemy. Responding to a call for help from Prince Rugali Naftur himself, the Leadership Council must decide if rescuing a few Wek scientists is worth the risk of yet another war, this time involving direct conflict with the Pelaran Alliance itself. Piloting a single, largely untested ship, Captain Tom Prescott and crew are once again called upon for a special mission — a trip into the heart of an empire to complete an assignment that only the Guardian itself could have envisioned. "The author's admitted fondness for Tom Clancy and Patrick O'Brian is readily apparent. In fact, if you ever fantasized about Jack Aubrey as captain of a starship, well this book will get you close." - David Miller "The Terran Fleet Command Saga has cemented his place in my library next to Weber. Great read." - Timothy Denny "Another cracking good read from Harris. I particularly like the slow development of all the battle sequences. The detail present in the background makes the whole thing very believable. The only frustrating thing is that it's such a good story I can't put the book down and I finished it in two days!" - Ian Thompson "My new favorite Author!" - Peter Roseman "This is the best 'first novel' I've read since Ryk Brown's start to 'The Frontiers Saga'. Tori Harris weaves together his take on Earth's future with a dose of urban legend and a bit of conspiracy theory (impossible engine - Roswell aliens). I've read a lot of science fiction from the Kindle Store and this is one of my favorites." - Everette Aston "I am so glad Tori is a self publishing author - proving you don't need the support of the "big 5" to be an amazing story teller." - Charles Corbett "This was a great book. Lots of real seeming science, good character development, realistic dialogue, one of the best books I have read in science fiction in a long time. No unnecessary sex, no bad language! Editing was great. I read at least a book a day, of some sort, and have for about 40 years, so I have read a lot of books. This was really good and I can't wait for the next. A lot of the stuff I get from kindle unlimited is bad! But this definitely was good." - Sharon Billingsley "The battle scenes were described in amazing detail and interplay between the various species opened the plot to all kinds of new directions - It has blossomed into a very Raymond Weil epic arc but with a very sophisticated Tom Clancy vibe that I truly love." - Michael Matthews Books by Tori L.
