Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A colony has voted to leave the Union, and worse, to ignore physics.A drifting gravitational anomaly is on a six-week track to cross Halen Colony's star system. The math says it will shift Halen's orbit by enough to render the planet uninhabitable inside a season. Halen's biosphere will not survive what is coming.Halen's elected council has voted that the math is a fleet manipulation. They have voted to secede. They have voted to refuse fleet evacuation, fleet assistance, and fleet ships in their orbit. Tin-foil hats abound.The Providence has been ordered to fix the orbit anyway, with or without permission. The window is six weeks. Any solution requires the colony's cooperation, which they have voted not to give.Montgomery Hale is going to the surface with the diplomatic team. Helm on the ship, field officer on the ground. A possible promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade looms, and his performance on this mission will be a deciding factor.Montgomery is also not who his service jacket says he is. He never went to the fleet academy. The record that put him on this ship is a forgery he built when he was seventeen, sitting on the floor of a station corridor with everything he owned in a bag. Captain Price has suspected it from the day Montgomery came aboard and has chosen not to ask.On day three of the Halen mission, Price asks Montgomery how you move colonists who have decided not to be moved. It's the kind of question a captain asks a junior officer when he's already decided the junior officer has the answer. The answer lives in the part of Montgomery's life that isn't on file.Montgomery can answer as the orphaned colonist kid he was--someone with street-smarts that understands the mindset of the conspiracy theory-embracing colonists. Or he can keep the lid on and watch a colony get cooked by physics nobody on the ground believes in. An Officer of the Union Space Fleet, Book 3. No apocalyptic wars. No galactic wars. Just a kid trying to save a planet that doesn't want to be saved.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The first book was about a kid faking his way onto a starship. This one is about what happens after he's good at the job. Which, it turns out, is worse.\*Montgomery Hale is an ensign now. For real, almost.He's on the primary helm rotation. The captain trusts him. He flew the corridor mission and he didn't get caught. After a year of waiting for someone to figure out his academy record was forged on a rented terminal when he was sixteen, he's finally relaxing into the job.That's when things get bad.Every mission he flies well makes his record look more wrong. A commendation puts his file on a desk at fleet personnel. An operations officer with a perfect memory starts noticing. And then the ship gets orders back to the station where Montgomery grew up--to save it from falling into the gas giant below. Just one person recognizing him could send him to a prison colony for 20 years. As the mission to save the station from falling to the planet below heats up, so does Montgomery's mission to stay under the radar. Both missions collide in this exciting second installment.No alien armadas. No galactic wars. Just a kid who's running out of room. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Montgomery Hale is seventeen, broke, and about to commit the biggest fraud of his life. He's spent years fixing machines on a backwater space station, saving every credit for a fleet academy education he'll never afford. When a last-minute vacancy opens on the Union's flagship, he does the only thing a desperate kid with a talent for forging documents would do.He fakes his way aboard.Now he's an ensign on the most prestigious ship in the fleet, surrounded by officers who earned their commissions, flying a vessel he's never been trained to operate, and reporting to a captain who sees more than he lets on.The ship's mission: chart a newly discovered passage through dangerous space to reconnect twelve colony worlds that have been isolated for forty years. People on those colonies are dying of treatable diseases. Children have never seen a supply ship. The clock is ticking, and Montgomery is at the helm.No alien armadas. No galactic wars. No chosen-one prophecies.Just a kid who's good with his hands, bad with people, and slowly learning that you can't fly a four-hundred-crew starship the same way you fly a junkyard skiff - alone.Ensign is competence fiction in the tradition of Star Trek's best episodes - the ones where nobody fires a weapon and the crew solves the problem by being good at their jobs. It's about fixing what's broken, learning to ask for help, and discovering that the hardest part of being part of a crew is trusting them. Hi all, Joe here. Former mechanic, current farmer. I'm a lifelong reader of military sci-fi, but it seemed like every book on my shelf ended the same way. Every book had a bigger war than the last one. The galaxy was on fire. Fleets of a thousand ships. Superweapons. The fate of humanity every other chapter. And somewhere along the way I started missing the old days. The episode where the captain has to negotiate a trade agreement with an alien species that communicates entirely through music. The one where the ensign accidentally insults a planetary elder by touching the wrong piece of equipment. The one where you live an entire lifetime on an alien world, raise a family, grow old, and then wake up on the bridge and thirty minutes have passed and you have to go back to work with tears on your face. I missed stories where the problem was a broken water system on a forgotten colony, or a first contact gone sideways, or a crew member who just needed someone to listen. Nobody was writing those books anymore, so I wrote one.…
