The Inherited Fleet. Starship Legacy, #2

An Ancient Alien Space Opera The galaxy knows his name. Now it's racing to stop him. Adrian Mercer escaped Earth with an ancient sentient starship that should never have existed. He survived the impossible, uncovered a forgotten legacy, and became the most wanted man in known space. But the starship was never the true inheritance. Hidden across abandoned worlds and buried inside ancient megastructures, forgotten warships have waited for thousands of years for one captain to awaken them.
Every vessel Adrian finds unlocks extraordinary technology, long-buried memories, and another piece of the First Architects' greatest secret. The galaxy's ruling empires will kill to possess that power. Pirates will betray anyone to claim it. Religious fanatics believe the fleet must never rise again. As old allies become uncertain and powerful enemies close in from every direction, Adrian must build a crew, forge impossible alliances, and decide whether to keep running-or unite the lost fleet before someone else does.
Because the First Architects didn't leave behind a collection of abandoned warships. They left behind the key to the galaxy's future. And something beyond the edge of known space has already begun hunting the captains chosen to inherit it. Perfect for readers who love fast-paced space opera, ancient alien mysteries, first contact, sentient starships, found-family crews, fleet building, epic space battles, and galaxy-spanning adventure.
