Audacity

Warner's World #5

by Dave O'Connor

Commander Aubrey Bellard leads the charge deep into enemy space in her new stealth frigate, Phantom, discovering the enemy have used a new weapon of mass destruction on one of their own systems. Seizing the moment Dave Warner secures the Qwantum system and forces Phil Yomoto to change plans. With an empire on the brink, opportunities are rife. But there is no shortage of bold players on all sides willing to roll the die and take advantage.

The Rogan resistance leader, Evie Plentun, along with turncoat Felis Draag are inserted into the Rogan home world of Cheklin to ferment resistance to Imperial rule. A frustrated first consul, Emilius Quazor, plots to free himself from the last shackles of political restraint, while a disgraced former Admiral Sallusam plots his own come back and the head of the Rogan Internal Security service, Angina Slirinus, plots her own counter coup. In a galaxy of chaos daring is not without risk.
