Tides of the Forgotten Current

About this book

Admiral Caius Renner has spent his life defending the interstellar empire, navigating the vast plasma currents that connect the galaxy using majestic star galleons. At sixty-eight, he is called out of retirement to address a terrifying phenomenon: the 'Stillness,' a dead zone collapsing the very currents that sustain interstellar trade and survival. Caius is paired with Commander Soren Vale, a brilliant but cynical young officer whose unorthodox navigational theories hold the only key to traversing the dying routes. As they embark on a perilous voyage aboard the fleet's newest galleon, the narrative alternates with Caius's memories of thirty years prior. Back then, as a young lieutenant serving under a flawed but legendary captain, Caius survived a catastrophic rift and discovered a profound secret about the nature of the plasma oceans—a secret he buried to preserve imperial stability. Now, amidst rebellious shipyards, tense asteroid chases, and a failing cosmic infrastructure, Caius must confront the consequences of his past choices. To teach Soren how to save billions from isolation and famine, Caius must unlearn his rigid devotion to a decaying empire and embrace the quiet courage of passing the helm to a new generation.
