Awaken the Fleet

A Military Space Opera of Alien Dominion and Human Reclamation

Earth's cloak is failing.

For five hundred years, a planetary cloaking system hid humanity from the Dominion — the alien empire that tried to erase them from existence. Now the artifact powering the cloak is degrading, and Earth's signal is bleeding into space.

Captain Will Statham wakes from cryo into a galaxy he doesn't recognize. The Ark Fleet survived — barely. Twelve million people, two hundred ships, and five centuries of hiding have produced a military force that has never fired a weapon in combat.

Commander Scarlett Virek, the fleet's operations chief, built the engagement doctrine they've never tested. She sees the same threat Statham does — but she also sees the second- and third-order consequences he's willing to ignore.

When long-range sensors detect a Dominion patrol entering Earth's sector, Statham doesn't wait for detection. He launches the first human FTL strike group in five centuries to destroy the patrol before it can report what it finds.

The strike is only the beginning.

Because the Dominion doesn't lose a patrol fleet and forget about it. They send something bigger. And the fleet that has never fought a war is about to fight the battle that proves whether humanity deserves to survive it.

Humanity is back. And it did not come to kneel.

Perfect for fans of Glynn Stewart, Jack Campbell, and cinematic fleet warfare, Awaken the Fleet launches a relentless military space opera series of alien invasion, strategic combat, and human reclamation.
