A traumatized patrol pilot. A mysterious calico cat. An alien empire terrified of her purr.
Lieutenant Striker Qualls was supposed to be on a quiet deep-space patrol-just him, an aging scout ship, and Myriad, the calico emotional support animal Fleet Medical insisted would help him recover from the disaster that took his crew.
Then a living wormhole opens in forbidden space.
On the other side waits the Vhalari Dominion: an exiled alien armada returning with conquest in mind. Their weapons dwarf Striker's ship. Their warships surround him. Their commanders demand surrender.
And then Myriad hisses.
To humanity, she is a troublesome cat with a talent for stealing coffee and sitting on important controls. To the Vhalari, she is something far older, far more terrifying-and possibly the only thing standing between the galaxy and an ancient force trying to claw its way back through reality.
The Calico Guardian is a fast-paced science fiction adventure filled with cosmic mystery, dry humor, alien empires, found family, ancient secrets, and one very unimpressed cat.
Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven space opera, military sci-fi with heart, reluctant heroes, mysterious alien mythology, and animal companions who may secretly outrank everyone.
