Carter Ash must take the fight to his enemies—or risk losing everything. As the leader of the United Interplanetary Republic, he knows the only chance for his people’s survival is defeating the Empire of Humanity. But the Emperor and his army are much stronger than Carter knows—and they will stop at nothing to wipe the evidence of his embarrassing betrayal from the face of the galaxy.

There’s a whole galaxy out there up for grabs—Carter Ash is going to take it. After narrowly surviving multiple attacks, the United Interplanetary Republic is ready to claim their first new system. The fleet is built, the soldiers are trained—it’s time to go. Conquering new solar systems is no easy feat, and Carter has his work cut out for him. There’s dungeons, armies, and all sorts of challenges ahead. At least he has a fiery redhead to back him up. But not all is as it seems in the new system—people are dying in unexpected ways.

All alone in a dangerous galaxy — a new civilization struggles for survival. War rages across the galaxy. Difficult diplomacy is all that keeps Carter Ash and his people safe from the threats around them. They need all the time they can get to build their home, because every day new, hungry eyes turn towards their fledgling government and their resource rich moon.

And to top it off, a blast from his past arrives, complicating everything.

When a ruthless commander takes over the moon, he has it out for Carter Ash. The commander sends him to a tiny settlement to defend it with the worst soldiers for the job.

Carter Ash should be a celebrated hero, instead he’s leading a doomed mission on a backwater moon, wondering what went wrong. His assignment is impossible—take over the whole moon with a handful of soldiers fresh out of Basic Training. It’s the kind of thing that takes an army, and his commanders won’t give him one. But Humanity’s position in the great galactic Game is worse off than ever, and they need the resources this colony could provide, so Carter isn’t going to sit idly by. He’ll have to fight an army of zombie aliens, plane sized vultures, and worse. Even alone, if he has to.

Carter Ash wakes up with no memories in a virtual basic training. All the recruits will die within the next six weeks. Lucky for them, they’ve all got three lives. He’s assigned to a squad with his goofy friend and another captivating cadet, Iris.

And everyone in the squad wants a valuable class, ideally the kind where you don’t get killed immediately.
