Galatea

After two Wars of Independence, the Union and Colonies stand on the brink of their most devastating conflict yet. When the Union turns its imperial hunger toward Kliinat, a verdant alien world, the consequences reach far beyond human space.

Marine Captain Matt "Skip" Carson has spent his career trying to escape his father's towering legacy. For Captain Tomoe Mori of the strike carrier Galatea, the sight of a Union warship brings back the searing memory of her parents' death. When the Union violates galactic law by interfering with Kliinat, both officers find themselves on a collision course with destiny.

On the surface of Kliinat, resistance fighter Maalek never expected to find allies among the stars. As his people suffer under brutal military occupation, the arrival of Colonial forces offers a desperate chance at liberation. But beneath the veneer of tactical assaults and strategic alliances, a darker threat emerges-the Hasha, an advanced alien empire whose military might dwarfs anything humanity has encountered.

The Union's desperate bid to change the tides of war is about to unleash something far more terrifying than they ever anticipated. Now, the crew of the Strike Carrier CCV Galatea stands as the last line of defense against a threat that could destroy not just the great powers of human space, but all of humanity itself.

Perfect for fans of Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, and military science fiction classics, this action-packed space opera combines pulse-pounding combat with the timeless tale of those who fight for freedom among the stars.
