Beskrivning
He was trained to follow orders. Now he has to give them — with half a crew, a mutinous ship, and an invasion fleet on the other side of the gate.The UEF Scimitar is sent to pull an archaeologist off an abandoned colony. For Sub-Lieutenant Hayden Kaine, it should be a routine run.It isn't.A gravity anomaly traps the ship in a quarantined system. An invisible enemy that defies physics cripples the Scimitar and injures half the crew, including the captain. Kaine is the only bridge officer left.Unready. Unwanted. In command anyway.While the survivors fight over who should be in charge, the enemy is building something on the far side of the system: an invasion fleet large enough to break through the jump network and take Earth unaware.Kaine has to hold a broken ship together, keep a mutiny from killing them all, and find a way to warn the Confederation — knowing that any choice he makes will cost someone else.No good options. Still has to choose.What you will find inside:Fast-paced military science fiction with no fillerCompetent people under extreme pressureCommand decisions where every choice costs somethingA shipboard crew that earns every inch of survivalAlien technology that reframes the fate of humanityA complete story in every book — no cliffhanger manipulationIf you liked The Expanse because it put competent officers inside broken political systems where decisions have real consequences, you will feel at home aboard the Scimitar.If you liked Dune because power and knowledge trap the people who hold them, this is that kind of story.Kaine's Sanction is Book 1 of Shattered Empire — Six novels. One complete story. Ready to read now.The Terran Confederation has stood for five hundred years.It will not survive the next month unless Kaine can become the officer the moment demands.
