First Command

First Command Book 1

By Michael Simon

An alien attack leaves them adrift in space.
Survive, rebuild, and rejoin the war.


Fresh out of the Academy, Ensign Cole Jackson’s first posting to Freedom couldn’t have come at a worse time. All over the Alliance, planets and colonies are suddenly under attack by the vicious Coven Empire.

Freedom and her sister ship, Hood, are ambushed by alien warships, leaving Hood drifting dead in the void.

Cole is ordered to salvage parts from the powerless Hood, but when he arrives on the unpowered hulk, Freedom is called away, marooning him and a group of malcontent techs in deep space.

With the timer on survival ticking down, Cole must find the confidence to take control, whip his tiny crew into shape, bring Hood back to life––repairing communications, propulsion and even weapons.

He’s got one chance to transform the derelict ship into a combat-ready vessel. One he can take into battle and alterthe course of the war.

Don’t miss the start of this science fiction thrill ride about a crew of young soldiers mustering the courage to fight back against both a vicious alien enemy, and the terrifying void of being stranded in space. It’s perfect for fans of Daniel Gibbs, J.N. Chaney, and Vaughn Heppner!
