Prides of Sol: Book 5Scimitar, part 1. RetributionAt the dawn of the third millennium, an allied Solarian Navy secured the survival of Earth in a close contest with the Oo'ahan at the home-world's Apogee Station battle-zone. With that success, human forces moved onward and outward into the stars. One crippled ship remained behind. Twelve months later, Avalonian light cruiser Darius still conducts aimless picket duty at the fringes of Earth-space. Her commander, Senior Captain Jennifer Giles, slowly sinks into despair while the injured vessel continues its endless vigil.The brief conflict between Avalon and North America ended in stalemate over a year before. The erstwhile antagonists mutually agreed to integrate their forces to face a common enemy in the deep black. Out there, on the fringes of human-controlled space, Avalonian admirals and commanders still hold sway within the allied command structure. Such is not the case in the rear echelons back on Earth. Known there the Bremerton Butcher, Giles is about to face retribution. The people she bested in that violent clash will soon decide her fate and that of all those aboard her ship.
