Honor Bound
The war for the future has begun. The past will not be forgotten. Some bonds are forged in honor…
General Roan Landais was raised to be a weapon, forged in the fires of war by his father and uncle’s ruthless ambition. Now, branded a traitor, he’s hunted across the galaxy—by the very family that created him.
Dr. Julia Marksdale awakens in a distant world, thrust into a war she barely understands. With nowhere to turn, she’s forced to trust the one man whose loyalty is the most uncertain. Roan is ruthless, calculating, and everything she should fear. Yet, beneath the hardened soldier, she sees something else—a man fighting for more than survival. A man who may be the only hope of stopping an unstoppable weapon.
As the Legion prepares to unleash planet-killing technology, Roan and Julia must join forces with the Gallant rebels and Julia’s fellow Gliese survivors to strike before it’s too late. But in the cold void of space, second chances don’t exist—only the choice between defying fate or dying with it.
Join the Ancient Knights of the Gallant in the fight for freedom—and discover the power of hope in the darkest of battles.
Internationally acclaimed S.E. Smith has done it again! Characters you will love, adventure you won't forget.

This was worth the wait. Like the others in this series, it has the feel of the original Star Wars saga, with Terran astronauts as Jedi Knights. This one has the nephew of the galactic dictator falling for a mystery woman with regal poise and a spine of sheer titanium. Think Ben Solo choosing to follow Rey Palpatine into the light side of the Force. There is only one Terran left unaccounted for - where is Mei and who is she bedevilling? Next book, please!

Worth the wait for sequil!
Although the recaps make this a stand alone: full appreciation for the plot intricancies will be appreciate if you read the first 3. HEA for He/Her not a cliff hanger; but not the end of the battle.

engrossing space battle story
A thoroughly engaging and exciting story in the series. I can’t wait for book 5. Each book keeps getting better even when I didn’t think they could.

This book if made into a film would rival the top sci-fi greats.
Was difficult to put it down. Loved the last few chapters.
Can not to read next.

The fourth book in the series, featuring Julia Marksdale and General Roan Landais. Loved it too.
