On the Shores of a Dark Sea

If you like space opera, you'll love On the Shores of a Dark Sea. Inside you'll find exploration, first contact, and enough conflict to burn a moon to dust. On the Shores of a Dark Sea, Book 2 in the Dark Seas series, is a sequel to The Anvil of Dust and Stars. As the author I highly recommend you read Book 1 first. Our story this time: A jump drive mishap has left Captain Sarah Dayson's fleet of starships marooned in intergalactic space, but when her science officers find one rogue star within range of her remaining fuel, Sarah believes she's found a place where humanity will be safe from the Hive. The Hive is a soulless and unforgiving enemy driving humanity extinct within the galaxy proper. Sarah believes the rogue star, which she dubs Oasis, is too remote for the Hive to be interested. She believes she has found salvation. Instead a starship is pulled to its doom by a mysterious force. An enemy steps forward that Sarah's nuclear weapons just make angrier. Romance is kindled as a military fleet turns to the business of becoming colonists, only to discover they need to remain a military fleet just a bit longer. Sarah came to Oasis think it was her salvation, the end of war. She learns that salvation isn't always what it's expected to be.
