A Deadly Ambush Captain Tom Thrush is patrolling the Octagon Rift when his ship is attacked by a black destroyer that seems to predict his every move. Outgunned and outmaneuvered, he flees in a crippled ship to the only sanctuary he can reach-a den of thieves and spies called Lotus Station. StrandedHis ship will be broken up for scrap. Half the crew are casualties. The rest are scattering, leaving Tom stuck on Lotus. As the black destroyer hunts down local freighters, Tom becomes obsessed with tracking it down and taking revenge. A Lost CorvetteThere are rumors of one more warship on Lotus Station. The Calgary is a heavy corvette, captured by the Dawn Alliance and towed to Lotus. A corvette is no match for a destroyer, but it's all he's got. If Tom can find the Calgary-if he can get her fit to fly-and if he can find a crew-he will face the black destroyer one more time.

A Galaxy Engulfed by WarThe Dawn Alliance and the United Worlds are locked in a bitter war over the rich worlds of the Green Zone. The colony of New Panama is caught between the giants, and Tom Thrush has the impossible job of leading her rag-tag navy in a desperate struggle for survival. The Burden of CommandHis fleet is a mix of armed freighters and salvaged warships. The crews are former pirates with no military training. His enemy has the most powerful navy the galaxy has ever seen. With no hope of victory, he fights just to postpone annihilation. But these are the famed rebels of the Free Planets, tough and resourceful and hard as rats to kill. They might not count for much in a straight fight, but they know a thing or two about tackling impossible odds. If Tom can earn their respect, they might just teach him something about survival - or even victory.
