Humanity has gone from one impossible survivor to a civilisation building ships, lunar industry, orbital yards and a true home fleet. In The Nova Fleet, Daniel Cross faces the consequences of everything he has built. As humanity expands beyond Earth, new industrial systems, military doctrine and off-world infrastructure begin to turn Sol into something far larger than a single-world civilisation. Then an alien contact approaches.
The Thalen return to Sol, reopening the buried history of Daniel's abduction, death, reconstruction and return to Earth. Among them is Kesh, the xenomedical technician whose desperate decisions changed Daniel forever.
