After thirty-five years of peace, one vicious attack destroys it all. An unexpected enemy emerges with an overwhelming force designed to obliterate the Terran Coalition. Reservist Lieutenant Justin Spencer straps into the cockpit, determined to save his home from a vicious foe. Even outnumbered and outgunned, Justin is never out of the fight.

Protracted war is inevitable.

Six weeks ago, Lieutenant Justin Spencer was just another reservist in the Coalition Defense Force. Becoming a lifer wasn’t in the cards—until the League of Sol brutally attacked the Terran Coalition. With several pivotal battles now under his belt, friends and strangers alike call Justin a hero. But he finds the accolades difficult to swallow when the night only intensifies images from his first taste of combat.

When the CSV Zvika Greengold is tapped for a black ops action, Justin volunteers to pilot a captured enemy aircraft on what he discovers too late is a suicide mission. For any chance of survival, he’ll need to rely on more than sheer skill and dumb luck.

He’ll need a miracle.

The counter-attack begins now.

Captain Justin Spencer has one goal: to execute battle missions with excellence and bring everyone in his galactic fighter squadron safely home. Yet for too long, the Coalition Defense Force has been engaged in a defensive fight with the League of Sol on the Terran Coalition’s home turf.

No longer.

The CSV Zvika Greengold is once again called upon for a highly clandestine assignment – take the war deep into enemy territory and attack the very heart of the League. It’s been generations since anyone has seen Earth after the communist League chased humanity’s ancestors from their former home, and Justin is eager to lead the squadron of stealth recon fighters for some payback.

Regardless of the danger that awaits them.

Sybil Dragonsbane strides down the alley, trying to project confidence and belonging while leading a disguised dragon. With her face plastered on wanted posters around the entire kingdom, she can’t figure out why she agreed to help him. She’s a dragon tax collector-and slayer if necessary-not a dragon savior.

Riastel hates being in this human form. No claws. No fangs. No fire. And he’s dependent on a human. Worse, she’s a dragon killer. But without her help, he might never figure out how to undo this curse and be trapped as a helpless human forever.

But can a dragon slayer and a dragon trust each other long enough to work together to survive?
