Phoenix Rising. The Phoenix Saga, #1

Captain James Anders awakens amid the ruins of a brutal massacre, the sole survivor of a savage assault by an unfathomable alien empire. Haunted by fallen comrades, he scavenges what remains and, joined by a motley ragtag crew of unlikely allies, flees into the unknown, desperate to outrun the tide of destruction swallowing his world. But fate has other plans. As the enemy ravages planets, the crew uncovers whispers of a legendary relic that bends cosmic laws, its power poised to turn the tide.
Thrust into a high-stakes quest across forbidden worlds, they battle betrayals, interstellar conflicts, and terrors that test their bonds and resolve. Each step draws them closer: the enemy hot on their trail. As secrets unravel and alliances fracture, Anders faces a chilling question: Is the relic salvation or a curse that could doom them all? In a universe where trust is scarce and survival is rebellion, Anders and his crew must unite to rise as the Phoenix-or burn in its shadow.

Perfect for fans of Star Wars, The Expanse, and Firefly, this tale of resilience and redemption will leave you breathless for more.
