1st book of the series. Rated a very impressive 4.6 out of 5 on Goodreads. One last chance for Glory. One last hope for humanity. A ship pulled out of mothballs by the original crew, sent to fight a war humanity was losing. Glory barely survived its last battle twenty years earlier. Captain Drake resigned rather than face court martial. But the enemy is back. Humanity needs everything that can fly. Maybe it’s not the ship at all, but the crew. They hold the key. Drake rallies old and young alike to comply with orders so secret, even he wasn’t allowed to see them until after the ship left the junkyard. Would it leave? That was another question. The core hadn’t been fired in twenty years. The smell of decay filled the massive ship’s corridors. The stench of death lingered, the death of Drake’s crew, a nightmare from long ago. The Paragon have weapons that humanity couldn’t contemplate. But here they were, suing for peace. The people of Earth jumped at the carrot. The end of war! Could it be too good to be true? Drake had his orders from an admiral who knew too much. Glory must launch. And with it, the fate of humanity rested on the shoulders of a broken crew, carrying a weapon like no other, hoping for one clear shot. One last chance for Glory. One last hope for humanity.
