Broken Empire

Humanity has spread to other worlds, yet in its ambition it's unity shattered, if it was ever even there to begin with. Humanity's domains remain split between the United Alliance of Planets and the Conglomeration of Corporate Authorities. The two governments lash out at each other in ceaseless conflict, at the cost of countless lives. Furthermore, the war has left a power vacuum closer to home, as a terrorist organization known as the Syndicate rises to power.

Ryan, Kelly, Greg, and Stacey embark on their first assignments within the Alliance navy. Not everything is as it seems when an attack leaves the Alliance destroyer Montgomery crippled. The battle cruiser Stonehaven rushes to aid, but will it be too late? Friendships will be tested, plots will be uncovered, and plans will fall into place in the second installment of the beloved science fiction novella series Broken Empire.

The Stonehaven is deployed with a battlegroup to the Medius system where Ryan takes his first reluctant command of the battlecruiser. However, UAP intel is poor as the flotilla encounters unexpected enemy forces on the planet and in orbit. Greg, Kelly, and Stacey are met with their own challenges as they adjust to their roles onboard the ship. New information is unveiled as the mysterious alien vessel which the Sylva encountered is engaged by an Alliance battlegroup.
