Vanguard

As the war against the Confederacy rages on, Cadell is enlisted into the Alliance Navy, but finishing his training is not what he expects. The Balokarid, the Alliance's non-human allies, have joined the war effort, yet working with aliens is easier said than done, and tensions run high as cultures clash. The Balokarid technology could be the key to winning the war, but if Cadell's team of mixed-species cannot pull through, the opportunity will be lost, and the war along with it.
