Legacy Fleet: Meridian (Kindle Worlds)
From the author of CRUCIBLE, a story of honor and vengeance...<br /><br />Commander Genniver Ayers has one guiding philosophy: get the job done.<br /><br />Eight years ago, when the ISS Vogel was lost in the fight against a slaving syndicate, she was the sole survivor. Since then, Ayers has become a legend with an equally legendary grudge against anyone who would prey on United Earth’s colonists. Now, she captains the ISS Meridian, a frigate patrolling the lonely border between United Earth and the Caliphate - prime territory for the slaving syndicates.<br /><br />Over the years, she’s built up a crew of people just like her, soldiers with nothing to lose and nowhere to go home to. Rookies come and go, and she doesn’t make it her business to pay attention to them.<br /><br />But she’s going to need all the help she can get. Because out in the black, the slavers seem to be disappearing into thin air. The merchants who feed Ayers information swear there’s something dark at work, something that terrifies even the worst humanity has to offer, but Ayers isn’t about to let ghost stories scare her.<br /><br />And when she learns just who’s in charge of this syndicate, she makes a vow that nothing and no one will stop her from settling an old score - even if it means violating every treaty in the book, and following the trail directly into Caliphate territory.<br />
