'Everyone has been scarred by the war, and Sam Willet is no exception.

'Sam is convinced she has what it takes to become a fighter pilot... to hunt down and destroy the enemy in deep space.

'Instead she's assigned to Tactical Operations training. It's vital work, but it's still a desk job, far from the front line.

'Then, terrible news: Sam's older brother is killed in combat.

'Sam is given leave to attend his memorial service, but she's barely boarded the transport when the enemy launches a surprise attack, striking far behind friendly lines to take the entire sector.

'Desperately short of pilots, the transport's captain asks Sam to step up.

'Now, at last, she has the chance to prove herself.

'But will that chance end in death... or glory?'

'Sam Willet has just been assigned to fighter training, achieving a lifelong goal. Now, at last, she can help to win a decades-long interstellar war that's ripping two inhabited systems apart.

'Unfortunately, she's in for a shock. Facilities on the frontier planet are second-rate, her tutors are tired and jaded, and the training is as basic as it gets.

'When things go badly wrong during a live combat exercise, Sam's hauled before the squadron leader for punishment.

'Her career as a fighter pilot appears to be over before it really began.

'Then, without warning, the enemy launches a major attack. Against this overwhelming force, every pilot is needed... Sam included.

'Now is her chance to redeem herself.

'Now is her chance to fight back.

'But the enemy's ambitions go far beyond the destruction of a second-rate training base and the capture of a frontier planet. If their bold plan succeeds, it could change the entire course of the war.'
