Ashes of Unity (The Ashes of Unity Saga Book 1)

In the year 5129 AC, the United Species Exploration Alliance sends the deep-range warship UESA Ashes of Unity into the outer dark to investigate a dead relay station, vanished crews, and impossible machine signals. At its heart is Captain Michael Landon, a young Anglion commander forced to prove himself far beyond the reach of support, safety, or clean answers.What begins as a frontier recovery mission becomes a plunge into buried archives, ancient machine horrors, political conspiracy, and black-level truths the alliance was never meant to face in the open. Alongside his coldly brilliant executive officer Sevrin Holt, the defected Synaxis war-form C0D3, and a hard-bitten brotherhood of soldiers, scholars, and killers, Michael must lead his ship through prison-sites, signal-death zones, and precision hunters sent to erase what his crew uncovers.Ashes of Unity is a dark LitRPG space opera built on command pressure, exploration, ship combat, brotherhood, machine terror, and the idea that some answers do not want to be found—but will not stay buried forever.
