Burnt Worlds

HMCS Borealis seriesbook 1 of 1

Lieutenant Dillon never expected to command HMCS Borealis, yet after a disastrous test of an experimental jump drive, he is the most senior officer left alive. The ship is damaged, and it sits at the edge of the known galaxy, far from any help that could reach it. Dillon must keep the survivors working together and steer them back toward home, all while learning to bear the weight of authority he didn't ask for.

Matters grow worse. A fugitive priestess from an alien world comes aboard, and her presence threatens to spark a diplomatic crisis. An unidentified vessel trails the crew with hostile intent. Then a second jump, forced by necessity, drops the Borealis into unmapped space, where star systems hang lifeless and their planets are scorched and empty. Supplies are running low, and the crew must unravel a centuries-old riddle before an ancient danger is released.
