Massey thought he was done with the Vanguard. He was wrong—again.The Civil Service has one last mission: take the rebuilt alien ship to the edge of known space, extract intelligence about the approaching Nohiri conquest fleet, then destroy the Vanguard forever. Simple, right?
Not when you’re dealing with Elera, the ship’s psychotic AI who sees enemies everywhere and trusts no one—except Drake.
Trapped in the remote Eridanus Cluster with his brother Quinn and two Nohiri defectors, Drake watches his worst nightmare unfold as Elera breaks free and attacks the Civil Service fleet. But this time is different. This time, the Service is ready with upgraded warships and enough firepower to vaporize the Vanguard.
In this explosive fifth installment, the galaxy’s most dangerous ship faces its ultimate test. Some battles can only end in total annihilation.
