Forged in Battle A Completely Gripping Military Science Fiction Adventure

After decades of war, the Union was starting to rebuild. But our allies betrayed us without warning, striking every ship in the system in a cowardly surprise attack. One destroyer remains-trapped far behind enemy lines, with no support and no way home. Captain Jaxon Steele never expected his first command to throw him into the heart of a raging storm... On a routine diplomatic mission, Steele's ship is orbiting a war-torn planet when the entire system erupts in rebellion. Missiles smash into Ranger's shields. Communications are jammed. Enemy warships are closing in fast... Ranger is an advanced destroyer-fast, stealthy, and armed to the teeth-but she wasn't built for heavy fighting and a rebel battleship would tear her to shreds. Steele will need all his trickery and tactical genius to survive the first strike. But survival is not enough... A vast enemy fleet is lurking somewhere in the system. Only Ranger can locate it and prevent a catastrophic defeat. Steele knows his duty... He begins a deadly game of hunter and hunted across the rebel system, knowing that any mistake will be his last.
