Captain Darius Talon, a widely recognized figure throughout the Sol Alliance, recently completed his latest triumph. The commissioning of the experimental battle cruiser Damocles. A ship he both designed and commands. A ship that is unique in the Alliance Fleet, in not only its appearance but in its firepower. A ship that punches much harder than its size would imply. Therefore, when an unexplainable anomaly is briefly detected deep in the black void of the solar system, far from normal human activity, Fleet leadership is quick to respond. The untested Damocles must travel to the outer fringe of the system to investigate. The challenges that Talon and his inexperienced crew encounter are beyond anyone's expectations. Their success could very well determine the fate of all humanity. But first the legendary Captain must overcome his own demons. Demons that threaten the very foundation on which he has built both his life and his career.
