The Last Fleet

For generations, we colonized worlds, and the human race spread throughout the galaxy. One discovery could end it all. They called the ship Lady Vengence, and her Captain, Gavin Andal, was young, a bit arrogant, and the perfect fit for a bunch of misfits more interested in shore leave than work. Nobody was interested in being a hero. Sometimes there's no choice.

Andal has fallen, engulfed by the Never, and torn from the galaxy. Gavin and his crew of rebels have escaped the mysterious stealth ship and are stranded on an alien world, while Janus Darishma tries to figure out what happened on the edge of the Empire and what part Fleet Admiral Marquandt...

Gavin and his crew have left the borders of the human hegemony and are on their way to Sol to stop the dawning catastrophe. But their allies have their own plans, and when the inevitable conflict between the conflicting forces occurs in Earth's orbit, Janus must decide where his loyalties lie...
