Star Splinter (Fractured Space Book 1) by J G Cressey

Lieutenant Callum Harper hadn’t intended on punching his commanding officer quite so hard. But maybe it wasn’t such a bad turn of events. Court-martialed and dumped on a reject raft bound for Earth, Cal feels optimistic about a life where getting blown up, shot, or even eaten is altogether less of a concern.

Unfortunately, fate doesn’t favor the mundane. Crash-landing on a lethal planet, Cal must take his fellow passengers under his wing in order to survive and unravel the reasons behind their situation.

But the cause is far worse than any of them could have imagined, for theirs is a small part of a much larger crisis. Colonized space is under attack. Humanity is on the verge of chaos. And those who enjoy such anarchy are already beginning to thrive.

Yet Cal and his new companions will discover that mankind isn’t the true threat… not by a long shot.

The saga of Cal Harper and the crew of the Star Splinter continues…

For eight long months, Cal and his crew have been searching for Kaia, bouncing from colony to colony, latching onto the thinnest rumors of pirate attacks. But since the Insidion attack, disorder is on the rise, and a slew of dead ends has taken its toll.

In need of a few calm and uneventful days, they head for the ocean planet Aqualorian Prime in an attempt to regain focus. But even the wealthiest, most stable colonies are beginning to split at the seams and perhaps none more so than the submerged city of Callacean. A threat is looming. One so large it can’t be ignored, and Cal and the gang feel compelled to offer their aid.

But those in power aren’t always receptive to such offers. And worse, they sometimes turn a blind eye to the danger itself… Even when the threat has arisen from the deepest, darkest abyss.
