Montgomery Hale has been promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and now has greater responsibilities on the USF Providence. He has junior officers reporting to him for the first time, and a mission list that does not care about the new bar on his collar. The fleet doesn't slow down for a promotion ceremony.
A pathogen outbreak at Hark Mining Station threatens to kill thousands. A mysterious wreck drifting in the Mehlin Corridor raises questions fleet command would rather not answer. And an alien probe broadcasting on an unknown frequency from a species nobody in the Union has met has Captain Price asking, why now?
Three problems for one bridge crew, and a lieutenant who has spent four years lying about who he is - and who is starting to suspect the bill is coming due.
No 10,000 ship fleets fighting endless wars. No civilization ending alien threats. Just good old fun: episodic science fiction in the tradition of the greats.Also from
