Destitute, desperate, and devoid of allies, the Earth Empire saw its only escape through the flames of war. In the shadow of his sister's death, once the greatest pilot in Imperial History, Aaron Strand must face the war alone with a single objective, and become a hero like his sister before him. Shy, scared, and surrounded by carnage, Aaron must find his courage and become the man he wishes to see in the mirror. But when the Coalition insurgents separate him from his unit, Aaron must team up with his bully to survive and maybe even find some piece of his sister's courage within himself.
