A Military Sci-Fi Legal Thriller of Starship Murders, Alien Infiltration, and Covert Operations

Aboard the military starship Theodore Roosevelt, highly decorated Commander Wilbur Jennings inexplicably executes two of his fellow officers in cold blood, offering no defense or explanation. Cynical military defense lawyer Major Max Becker is assigned to represent Jennings at court-martial, suspecting high-level military interference when top brass orders a swift guilty plea.

Digging deeper into ship telemetry and personnel logs, Becker uncovers evidence that the victims were covertly infected or replaced during an unrecorded deep-space first contact mission. Unraveling a military cover-up, Becker must risk his career and life to reveal the truth behind alien infiltration within the fleet.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Hugo Award-winner Mike Resnick blends court-martial legal thriller suspense with military space opera tradecraft. Essential reading for fans of Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet, David Weber, and military sci-fi mysteries.
