The Ambush by K.R. Vance

Framed for a disaster he didn’t cause, Commander Elias Thorne is exiled to the fringe with a rusting analog ship and a crew of castoffs.

Then a corporate stealth dreadnought finds them, with orders to leave nothing alive.

No shields. No match. Just Thorne, an orbit, and the math.
