Book One of the Stargazer Series
Humanity found a new home amongst the stars, but they weren't the first. After 100 years in space, they're still playing catch-up. Captain Corbin Murphy was considered an exemplary leader and was supposed to lead the charge for humanity to get a foothold. That was all before tragedy struck.
He's now a man who lost it all and doesn't want it back. But the stars demand he return when a new threat endangers all of council space. A reluctant journey drags him into a whirlwind of politics, galactic terrorism, and ancient gods.
