The Alliance has been fighting the Syndics for a century—and losing badly. Now its fleet is crippled and stranded in enemy territory. Their only hope is a man who's emerged from a century-long hibernation to find he has been heroically idealized beyond belief.... Captain John “Black Jack” Geary’s exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic “last stand” in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead. But a century later, Geary miraculously returns and reluctantly takes command of the Alliance Fleet as it faces annihilation by the Syndics..

Admiral Geary und die Crew der Dauntless haben gerade eine Eskortmission zur Erde abgeschlossen, da verschwinden plötzlich zwei von Gearys Offizieren. Die Suche nach den vermissten Männern führt ihn an den schlimmstmöglichen Ort: einen Mond, der wegen eines tödlichen Virus unter strengster Quarantäne steht. Jedes Schiff, das trotzdem dort landet, muss für immer bleiben oder wird zerstört. Wie soll Geary seine Männer retten? Und darf er es überhaupt?

"Black Jack" Geary musste als Kommandeur schon viele riskante Entscheidungen fällen. Doch seine Offiziere zweifeln an seinem Verstand, als er die Allianz-Flotte wieder ins Lakota-Sternensystem zurückbeordert, wo sie zuletzt beinahe zerstört wurde. Während er sich bemüht, dem Feind immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein, muss er sich Verschwörern aus den eigenen Reihen stellen - eine unbekannte Anzahl an Offizieren will ihn des Kommandos entheben.

Have you ever had a bad day? Sergeant Paul Mitchell had. It was the kind of bad day where nothing went right, everything that could go wrong went wrong, and everyone died. He knew that was always a possibility in the marines, but it really sucked when it happened to you: it wasn't your fault, and you still took the fall for everything. With his career dead and buried, he's forced to make it as a freelancer; a jack of all trades but a master of none. Just when he thought life couldn't get any worse a couple of stupid kids proved him wrong...again.

Paul Mitchell wasn't sure how things could get any worse. Sure, he'd been booted from the Marine Corps and was forced to work as a freelancer because he couldn't hold down a regular job. He'd signed on with a mysterious crew of women, sailed across the void, and met interesting aliens and new people who tried to kill him. Against all odds, he'd somehow found himself stuck between a criminal psycho, Naval Intelligence, and a drop-dead gorgeous skipper who actually liked him. He'd even pulled a regular Prince Charming and saved a damsel in distress.

From the ruins of Stonehenge to the starships of Vallon he sought the secret of a trace of memory.
