Peacekeeper

Before the fateful mission to Takalu, The Calyster was just another Peacekeeper cruiser out of hundreds of thousands. No one knew her name, much less her crew. Assigned to the frontier, The Calyster was tasked by Terran Command to help root out a pirate syndicate that was proving particularly stubborn in terms of its destruction. It is said that legends are made, not born. Will this be the mission that gives birth to a legend?

Xander Martin is a member of the Terran Peacekeepers, the guardians of order on the fringes of the frontier. Beyond the borders of the Terran Republic lie many worlds and civilizations of Humanity, all with different agendas and ambitions.

The events on Takalu have changed the Terran Republic forever. The admittance of the Eranian Union into the republic, a civilization that was the equal of the republic in every single conceivable way, is a testament to this fact. The existence of the Zalu superweapon was uncovered thanks to the efforts of the Calyster and her crew, and when the weapon is deployed against the republic, the crew of the Calyster is quickly called back into service, as the republic finds herself at war with the Zalu Empire.

The Terran Republic is in a state of brutal war. The discovery of the Zalu nanite superweapon, a weapon that is able to clandestinely acclimate entire civilizations into subjugation and slavery, has sent shockwaves of panic across the galaxy. In an act of desperation, Terran Command has ordered the crew of the Calyster to contact a sect of Eranians who have long since been expelled from Eranian Union space.

In this definitive conclusion to the Peacekeeper series, Xander Martin and The Calyster return from the galactic center, successful in their previous mission. The war with the Zalu Empire continues to rage across the galaxy, and the crew of The Calyster has no doubt that they will be sent on another wild mission. When the order for that wild mission inevitably arrives, The Calyster sets off at once. But they do not know that this mission will have unexpected consequences, consequences that will change the face of the galaxy forever.
