The ISHS Asclepius Sovereign wakes from cryo at the edge of the Eagle Nebula, one light-year from humanity's war with the Draco Empire. Then a signal from inside the Pillars of Creation names Captain Chelsea Gales.
Draco warships gather at the nebula's edge and go no farther. Command orders her to hold position. But the answers are inside the Pillars, and Gales is the only one they're calling.
What she brings back could end the war, or prove who started it.
The Oz Frontier is Book 3 of Vicki Regan's Blood Wars series.
