Starship Valor — Tripp Ellis

Humanity is conquered. The rebellion must rise! Admiral Slade is a legendary hero of the first Verge War. All she wants is to retire to a quiet place in the country. But with New Earth reeling from the devastating Decluvian invasion, the Federation is unable to defend against an attack by another superior force. Slade, and her ragtag crew, must fight the occupation and liberate New Earth from oppression. But with only one working destroyer, can they overcome the impossible odds? Ensign Tyler Finn gave up being a movie star to fight for the UPDF. But when contact is lost with a remote colony, Finn is sent with a team of Navy Reapers to retrieve one of the greatest scientific minds in the galaxy -- Dr. Holly Noble. But with hordes of vicious creatures swarming the colony, the routine op spirals into chaos, and Finn will have to learn to become a true leader in order to survive. Humanity depends on it.
