Scott Warren published his debut military science fiction novel last year: Vick’s Vultures, a short, durable adventure about the crew of a starship that salvages alien technology from advanced civilizations. When they rescued an alien prince, they earned the wrath of another alien empire. In this sequel, the crew is trying to avoid trouble. But when an alien commander appears offering a strategic alliance, they have little choice but to accept, even as it draws them into a centuries-long conflict that could spell the extinction of humanity.
