A single battle will decide the fate of humanity…
Before the enemy struck at Midway Station, Jim Garrett had never captained an active warship. Unexpectedly thrust into command, he now leads the most powerful task force in the Confederation.
As a deadly new mission approaches, Garrett knows every decision he makes could save billions of lives. Or end them in an instant.
Deep in enemy space lies a star system like no other. A hive of factories and construction platforms, it exists for a single purpose—to build the fleets sent to break and enslave humanity.
A decisive strike here would shatter the enemy’s ability to wage war on the Confederation. But Lima-66 is heavily defended. And there will be no second chances. Everything rides on a single throw of the dice.
Garrett knows he must execute his attack perfectly or watch as his fleet is torn apart, along with humanity’s hopes of survival.
But as his warships, fighters and marine dropships close in on the target, it becomes clear the enemy has been preparing a secret weapon… In the storm of battle, with his forces stretched to breaking point, Garrett must find a way to capture it, no matter the cost.
Off Indigo Station is an action-packed military science fiction adventure that’s perfect for fans of Jack Campbell, David Weber, and Marko Kloos.
