Description
Jared Clement has returned to Trinity, not as a mere ship captain but now as a 5 Suns Fleet Admiral. With his promotion comes increased responsibility that weighs heavy on his shoulders. 30,000 settlers are leaving the dying planets of the Rim, his home, and resettling next to the natives of the planet Bellus.
Clement is responsible for those lives and the lives of the natives, Trinity's children, and for building a better future for them all. But when his migrant fleet arrives in the Trinity system, they are faced with enemies both old and new. Former Fleet Admiral Elara DeVore has escaped her exile on the planet Alphus and has vanished into parts unknown. Soon, however, Clement discovers she has a new fleet and a new ally, the Solar League from Earth. The Solar League has arrived with a massive fleet and plans on taking Trinity for itself, then forcing the 5 Suns to surrender. With just a small military fleet to accompany the migrants, Clement is faced with the almost impossible task of defending both his people and the natives from becoming slaves of the Solar League.
About Trinity:
"[A] rousing. . . far-future tale, taking hard-drinking former Rim Confederacy Navy Capt. Jared Clement of the gunship Beauregard into a whopper of a galactic confrontation. . . . [with] Clement's rebirth as an idealistic military commander, leading to breathless Horatio Hornblower-type ship-to-ship action updated into a Star Trek-like environment. . . [with] plenty of fun, derring-do, and even some tension-relieving fraternization will keep readers invested in Clement and crew. This is an entertaining escape from the here and now."-Publishers Weekly
About Dave Bara:
". . . fun, fast, and proper science fiction, where the stakes are big and things matter."-New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green on Dave Bara's Lightship Chronicles Series
"This energetic melange of tried-and-true elements-futuristic jargon, military and romantic tactics, and multiple levels of skullduggery-easily grabs the reader's attention; more impressive is that Bara's story holds that attention all the way to the end." -Publishers Weekly on The Lightship Chronicles Series
"Bara manages to ramp up the depth and complexity of his world while retaining that sense of excitement, suspense, and adventure." -Barnes & Noble Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog
