A reluctant hero must prevent war in space and on the planet in this fast-paced army research fiction thriller from the writer of The Chilly Between and Remnants of Trust.

Space is full of the unknown . the majority of it ready to kill you.

When hostilities between factions threaten to explode into a filming war on the moon of Yakutsk, both major galactic military powers, Central Corps and PSI, send out ships to defuse the problem. However when a unusual artifact is found out, about Breach of Containment occasions are set in place that threaten the entire colonized galaxy-including former Central Corps Commander Elena Shaw.

Now an engineer on a commercial delivery vessel, Elena discovers herself drawn in to the discord when she picks up the artifact about Yakutsk-and investigation of it uncovers ties to the massive, corrupt corporation Ellis Systems, whom she’s opposed before. Her protection is further jeopardized by her former ties to Central Corps-Elena can’t separate herself from her past existence and her aged dispatch, the CCSS Galileo.

Before Elena can pursue the artifact’s purpose further, disaster strikes: all communication using the First Sector-including Earth-is lost. The reason becomes obvious when news reaches Elena of a battle fleet, intent on destruction, quickly approaching Earth. And with communications at sublight amounts, there is no method to warn the earth in time.

Equipped with crucial intel from a shadowy source and the strange artifact, Elena may be the only one who can stop the fleet, and Ellis, and conserve Earth. But also for this mission you will see no second chances-and no come back.
