Genesis Eclipse (Legacies of the Citadel)

Cal survived the Outer Rings. Barely. But the debts he cleared and the enemies he made in Genesis Horizon were just the opening move in a war that's been burning since before he was born.

Now scattered across a galaxy that wants them dead, Cal and his crew have gone from nobodies to targets. The Citadel wants them silenced. The Marauders want them weaponized. And something far older than either faction has started to wake up in the blood of a man who just wants to be left alone.

Violet Cori earned her rank. Youngest Fleet Commander in Citadel history, she was forged to fight the Marauders and win. But the deeper she digs into the orders she's been following, the more she realizes the war she was built for isn't the one she's fighting. The enemy isn't at the gates. It's in the chain of command.

And somewhere in the void between them, a ghost who was supposed to stay dead is about to change everything.

The truth about humanity's last stand is worse than anyone was prepared for.

Book Two of the Legacies of the Citadel series. For fans of The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, and Red Rising.
