Starship Alexander (The Hive Invasion Book 1)

<b>A washed-up captain. A worn-out ship. A crew of green cadets. And they're Earth's only hope.</b><br />The <i>Alexander</i> is the last true warship, a relic from the days of interstellar war. She's destined for the scrapyard, and her captain, Richard Hammett, is about to retire. Their last mission is a training run with a ship full of cadets.<br />It's supposed to be a routine hop through a wormhole Gate. But Gates have been going offline, one after another, and Hammett knows in his bones it means trouble. The kind of trouble only a real warship can handle.<br />Defying orders, he takes the <i>Alexander</i> through another Gate, and puts the ship smack dab in the path of an alien invasion. Now a captain at the end of his career will have to take dozens of terrified cadets and forge them into a crew of warriors, because the <i>Alexander</i> is all that stands between the Earth and the swarming ships of the Hive.
