Book three of The Epherium Chronicles The battle for Cygni colony may be over, but for Captain James Hood and the crew of the EDF Armstrong, the battle for humanity's future has just begun. Hood's defense of the remote outpost against the Cilik'ti aliens was magnificent, but without the timely help of an unlikely ally--a splinter tribe of humanity's bitter enemies--the colony would have been lost and the Armstrong destroyed. An uneasy peace has prevailed ever since. But as the humans prepare for a crucial meeting, a desperately needed Earth supply convoy is attacked under mysterious circumstances, with the lead escort cruiser's captain disappearing even more mysteriously. The fate of all of Earth's new colonies hangs in the balance, and Hood is charged with protecting them against growing threats from all sides. When rebellion and unrest challenge the very leadership of the Earth Defense Forces, Hood may need to go it alone...and make the ultimate sacrifice.

The Cygni system was just one space-fold jump away. One more jump to a new world with a fledgling colony that Earth desperately needed. Its importance resonated in Captain James Hood’s mind, but could he reach the colony in time or even defend it against attack. So much depends on him now, but Hood’s confidence is shaken. Only a few days earlier, a deceptive trap by a mysterious vessel nearly claimed his ship and the lives of his crew. On the journey to the new colony, Hood was so focused on encountering Earth’s old enemy, the Cilik’ti, that he was oblivious to the undermining activities of a new and elusive foe. They had managed to turn his strategic and tactical strengths against him; something few had ever accomplished. Now, the specter of self-doubt resurfaced inside him. Hood knew it as a brutal mind-killer for all military commanders. It was something Hood thought he cast aside long ago. Hood needed to get to Cygni and fast. The plot to derail his mission to Cygni cost him something more important than just his confidence. It cost him time—time the colonists at Cygni may not have. With the Cilik’ti and his new adversary still out there somewhere, the consequences for the colony could be dire if he didn’t reach them first. What will Hood and his crew find when they arrive at the colony? Hood didn’t know, but one thing was certain. If he didn’t win his battle within, the fate of the colony would be sealed. Crucible is the second book in the exciting sci-fi series, The Epherium Chronicles.

Book one of The Epherium Chronicles. It was a bizarre twist of fate that turned James Hood into the Hero of Pluto Station. Now, nearly 20 years after that famous battle against the hostile alien race known at the Cilik'ti, Hood is called on again for a dangerous mission. This time he must take a new ship, the Armstrong, into deep space to make contact with fledgling colonies, created from ships developed by the Epherium Corporation that were launched before the war with the Cilik'ti began. As their journey begins, Hood and his crew discover more information about the colonies and their corporate benefactors. What they uncover could be more dangerous to humanity than a new conflict with their formidable foe.
