Stand against Annihilation

Alexander Moore: Commander of a U.S. Navy supercarrier spacecraft. His task is to hunt down remnant weaponry left over from the Solar System’s Civil War. But an AI presence lurks at the periphery—and it’s formed an alliance with something else out there in the darkness of space. Something that wants to see humanity wiped from the face of the galaxy forever. Now, Moore and his soldiers are all that stand between human life, freedom, and progress—and the total annihilation of mankind.
