Haylee just wants a relaxing vacation but when Earth falls to an alien armada, life will never be the same.
Les was just a cruise ship captain. Now, he must rise up and become something greater.
Braxton never wanted to leave the space navy, but a cruise is the only way to feel the stars around him.
If they reach unexplored space, they might yet survive, but an unstoppable enemy stands in their way…
Reads like a sitcom, but the action owes more to Battlestar Galactica than the Love Boat. Collings writing is brief, witty, and sharp. The cast is diverse, enough that I had trouble remembering which character came from which nation, but Collings draws each with individuality and clarity rather than relying on national identification. Collings is up front that this is a long-form story arc broken down into several smaller pieces. I'm booking passage clear through to the end.
