After the battle in the Obsidian system, Owen Shaw is unexpectedly thrust into the role of captain of the mighty battleship CSS Resolute. But tensions run high, and when another captain goes rogue, the fragile unity of the battlegroup Obsidian is threatened. In this deadly gambit, alliances crumble, prisoners defect, and Captain Shaw faces impossible choices. He must rally his fractured team to outwit their enemies before war erupts across the stars.

Shaw is determined to whip the Resolute back into shape, even if it feels like a lost cause.
