Haven Ascendant. Cole & Srexx, #3

The best defense is building something so terrifying no one dares to attack. With Beta Magellan rising from the ashes, Cole finally has something to protect. Refugees flood in. Warships roll out. And if the Coalition has any sense left, it'll think twice before picking another fight. But power comes with a cost. As old enemies resurface and new allies arrive with uncertain motives, Cole must balance diplomacy, warcraft, and the burden of leadership.
Some think he's a warlord. Others call him a messiah. Cole? He just wants to keep people safe-and maybe get five minutes of peace. Unfortunately, the galaxy isn't finished with him yet. Massive ships. Growing responsibilities. And a captain who never asked for a throne. If you're craving smart space opera with heart, humor, and high-stakes strategy, Haven Ascendant will keep you turning pages deep into the night.
