The academy burns through recruits quickly until only the strongest remain. Then the real training begins. Vega, Amalie, and Dax attempt to find their paths. Vega strives to claim one of the few spots in the elite corp that gets to fly starfighters. Amalie works to become part of the mil-science team and Dax strives just to keep his spot. Not to mention, Vega reunites with Jess only to find Ethan still preying on her mind while Dax and Amalie attempt to work out what they mean to each other. Everything at the military facility isn't what it appears to be and soon the friends are up to their retro rockets in trouble. Can Vega, Amalie, and Dax find a way to defeat the forces rising against the Axis before every life in settled space is in mortal danger?Sometimes evil comes from within. Fans of The Illuminae Files, Aurora Rising, and Brandon Sanderson's Skyward will love this fast-paced, character-driven space adventure, with humor, romance, and a mystery that will keep you up reading long past your bedtime.
