Publisher's Synopsis
When more than 3,000 Sacian civilians vanish without a trace from a remote settlement on a distant planet, the United Sacian Space Corp is summoned to uncover the truth behind their disappearance.
Sacia's most highly decorated fighter pilot, Lieutenant Ace Shepherd, is forced to face the ghosts of his past when he is tasked with training a top-ranking cadet who inexplicably looks like his deceased wife. Now Ace must set aside his personal feelings and prepare his trainee for the horrors of war. As they face capture by the enemy, his trainee learns that high scores and good grades alone are not enough to survive. This is a story of resilience, facing your greatest fears, learning to trust again, and overcoming the burden of living after the ones you love have died.
