Razor's Edge: An utterly addictive military science fiction adventure (Command Decision)

Planets burn and entire fleets are torn apart as the Hegemony advances into Union space. Unable to hold back the tide, the Union navy is gathering every available vessel for a desperate counterattack. Captain Jaxon Steele is ready to join the fight. But Fleet Command has an even more dangerous mission in mind… Steele returns to the Santana system with a squadron of nine aging warships. His mission—to strike where the enemy least expects it, make himself a target, and lure their forces away from the main assault. Santana is defended by a fleet of advanced Hegemony vessels, from agile destroyers to vast dreadnoughts. If Steele’s ships are discovered, they will be annihilated. Even worse, the Hegemony have sent their most feared admiral to hunt him down—a brutal master strategist they call the Butcher. Enemy sensors scan the darkness. Their ships are closing in.
