Forsaken Outpost – First Colony Book 18 is now available in audio!
Every Discovery Comes with a Price…
Stranded thousands of light-years from home after a hyperspace experiment goes catastrophically wrong, General Connor Gates faces a brutal reality: their ship is failing, supplies are dwindling, and home is an impossible distance away.
Their only hope lies with a manipulative alien prisoner who offers a dangerous bargain. Freedom in exchange for guidance to an ancient outpost with technology that could save them all… or doom the galaxy if weaponized.
Every step deeper into uncharted space reveals new perils. The massive alien station they discover—a relic adrift in the void—hints at a universe far grander and more treacherous than humanity ever imagined.
Meanwhile, across the stars, a dormant threat awakens—silently calls to those who can hear it. The Vemus nearly exterminated humanity once. Their return could mean the end of everything.
As Connor races to unlock the station’s secrets before time runs out, he realizes the true danger may not be the vast emptiness of space, but what followed them into it. Some enemies are too dangerous to leave behind, even five thousand light-years from home.
In this gripping space epic, betrayal is almost certain, but survival demands risk. Ancient technologies beckon with salvation and ruin in equal measure.
Can humanity’s scattered defenders outsmart beings who think in centuries rather than moments?

I also read your Author Note at the end. Wow. Congratulations on your successful transition. And I was very glad to see you prefaced your transition with prayer. Prayer has been a miracle-provider for us over the last 50 years, and is a main force in our lives today.
Many blessings to you, and I pray God continues to bless you as He is doing here with Vigilance!
