Description

ONCE A DEFECTOR, NOW A LEADER, JARED CLEMENT MUST RISE TO THE OCCASION OR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GENOCIDE

Jared Clement has returned to Trinity, not as a mere ship captain butas a Five 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 livesand the lives of the natives, Trinitys 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 Alphusandvanished into parts unknown. Soon, however, Clement discovers she has a new fleet and anew ally, the Solar League from Earth. The Solar League has arrived with a massive fleet and plans on taking Trinity for itself,forcing the Five 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.

AboutTrinity:
[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] Clements rebirth as an idealistic military commander, leading to breathless Horatio Hornblowertype ship-to-ship action updated into a Star Treklike 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 Timesbest-selling author Simon R. Green on Dave Baras Lightship Chronicles Series

"A true talent in the genre, Bara brings a scope of imagination to his worlds, building them brick by brick in your mind and populating them with stalwart characters, men and women of action rather than words... If far-flung space opera is what you seek, Bara is the author for you."Rick Partlow, bestselling author of the Drop Troopers series

This energetic mlange of tried-and-true elementsfuturistic jargon, military and romantic tactics, and multiple levels of skullduggeryeasilygrabs the readers attention; more impressive is that Baras story holds that attention all the way to the end. Publishers Weeklyon The Lightship Chronicles Series

Bara manages to ramp up the depth and complexity of his world while retaining that sense ofexcitement, suspense, and adventure. Barnes & Noble Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog
