— An ancient alliance under siege ... — A threat for which we are not prepared ... — And "Grey" aliens who are not at all what we expected. The enigmatic Greys have returned, bearing a host of stunning revelations regarding their role in Earth’s history, the Pelarans, and Humanity’s place in the cosmos. The Pelaran Alliance has effectively disbanded, and Pelara itself is now dominated by the same world-shaping AI originally created to manage its own cultivation program. Armed with this new information, Terran Fleet Command must decide if coming to Pelara’s aid is worth risking a direct confrontation with the AI-controlled remnants of their once-mighty Alliance. Griffin, openly declaring his allegiance to both TFC and the world he has helped to build, agrees to accompany the Grey ship Ethereal on a high-risk recruiting operation spanning thousands of light years. Their mission: enlist the help of enough Guardian spacecraft to put an end to the out-of-control, tyrannical AI before its forces can reach the Earth. Captain Tom Prescott and the crew of TFS Fugitive , joined by allies both old and new, must reach Pelara and take the fight to the Alliance AI at the very center of its power. While in the Sol system, Admirals Patterson and Naftur fight a seemingly hopeless battle to save both Earth and Graca from certain destruction. "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.
