Day and night, year round, the sailors of the Icaran Confederation Navy patrol the stars, doing their part to defend hearth and home, God and country. It is a challenging, dangerous, and often thankless job that demands all that they can deliver, and sometimes more.

From heroic highs to career lows, from secret operations to surprise birthday parties, this collection of ten military science fiction stories shows what life is like on the pointy end of the spear, where the Confederation's finest put themselves in harm's way every day.

Join the Navy. See the Galaxy.
