Disaster struck. Someone caused it. And now they want Alex Hawke to clean it up.

After a forced vacation, Alex returns to his ship expecting progress on the refit—not a call from the Ninhar Confederation’s Ministry of Defense. A planetary climate system has failed on Lynxeen, a volatile colony world that relies on strict environmental controls. The people need relief. Fast.

As an Accredited Auxiliary, Shepherd Security Services is tapped to lead the largest convoy operation Alex has ever seen. But running escort is only part of the job. The climate system didn’t just fail—it was sabotaged. And someone powerful doesn’t want that truth uncovered.

With his team split between planetary investigation and convoy defense, Alex faces his most complex mission yet. As new alliances form, public perception twists out of control, and five hundred ships fall under his command, he must prove once again that leadership isn’t about power… it’s about people.

Duty, disaster, and the making of a legend.
Lynxeen raises the stakes and expands the universe—perfect for fans of space opera with heart, humor, and tactical grit.
