โœฆ Synopsis


Commander Clark Patterson and several other officers in the Freeground Military are ejected from regular service when their desire to look beyond Freeground Nation's borders is discovered by an oppressive government. They are assigned dangerous missions by a special Intelligence Oversight Group.

If Commander Patterson and his people complete these missions, they'll gain their freedom from Oversight and have the opportunity to start over in a tumultuous galaxy. Patterson's fascination with another crew who left Freeground years before and managed to survive serves as a destination, but will they survive to reach it?- ** This book takes place between and during Spinward Fringe Broadcasts Six and Seven. If you've never heard of Spinward Fringe Before, begin with the free novel: Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0: Origins, available here. ***
