Launch Sequence (Genesis, #2)

Launch Sequence I - One week ago, Dennis Shaw was a typical twelve year old boy growing up on Daedalus-IV. Now, with an unstoppable Kai invasion fleet only hours away, Dennis is exposed to the challenges, the decisions, and the horrors of adulthood when his family is forced to flee aboard a strange starship hidden inside a secret mountain base.As Dennis attempts to come to terms the terrifying conclusion of the Kai's promise to exterminate humanity, he is overwhelmed by the implications of Project Genesis, Task Force Nightfall, and a newer, more dangerous threat: the sudden onset of puberty and the unpredictable, sometimes frightening emotions that come with it.*Launch Sequence II - Special Forces Commander Irina Drazek and Task Force Nightfall have assembled for one final mission: to ensure Project Genesis reaches a successful conclusion, even at the cost of their own lives. Alone and cut off from the Wire, the fifty-two ships of Silver Fleet are all that stands between the Kai's military might and the Genesis seedships -- humanity's last, best hope to avoid the fate of the Hanura and The Seven.As the stress and exhaustion of jumping blindly through enemy territory under extreme acceleration takes its toll on Silver Fleet's crews, Admiral Mattias Huang and Captain Rickus Meyer plan for a final showdown with their hated enemy. With time, space, and options running out, Huang is forced to rely on desperation, his own tactical brilliance, and the Kai's predictability to complete Nightfall's mission against impossible odds.*"Launch Sequence" is the highly anticipated sequel to "End of the Line."60,008 words (250 pages)
