A character-driven military space opera about loyalty, ambition, and the courage to choose.

Captain Nova Whiteside has earned her place in the Vanguard -- an elite task force charged with neutralizing a terrifying new threat. A strange new weapon capable of devastating entire planets has fallen into rebel hands. Their orders are simple: find it before the Commonwealth burns.

But as she hunts rebel enemies through remote outposts and lawless systems, Nova uncovers a disturbing truth. The weapon wasn't stolen. It was delivered.

At her side is her new Delphian commander, a man whose enigmatic people hold the key to the conspiracy. Nova begins to unravel a web of family secrets, political manipulation, and military ruthlessness and finds that the line between their personal lives and their mission has begun to blur.

Then Air Command issues a clandestine order -- a secret directive that betrays everything Nova believes in.

Now Nova must decide: Is she a soldier who follows orders... or a woman who follows her conscience? And if she chooses wrong, she won't be the only one who pays the price for being only human.

Note: Although the Targon Tales are numbered chronologically, each book is a complete adventure taking place in the same universe we follow the life and career of Nova Whiteside.

"More adventures with the fiery redhead as she dazzles the universe. Chris You are headed to the top of my author list with this series. I know who I want as my co-pilot when I go to space."
