When an alien fleet ambushes her battle cruiser, Captain Jess Tolvern of HMS Blackbeard barely escapes with her ship, only to return and find the enemy, a merciless race called the Adjudicators who reduce conquered species to a stone-age existence, has already invaded Alliance territory. Tolvern cobbles together a scratch squadron of damaged warships, former raiders, and local survivors to drive them back out. Opens Michael Wallace's Alliance Trilogy.
