Cloak of War

The day Karl Jager graduated from university with a degree in Spaceship Command he expected a cushy job flying a freighter. He expected the biggest decision to be which whisky to drink. He expected the biggest threat to be the redhead in the orbital bar.

Instead he was drafted and sent to the frontlines as a junior officer.

With the 6th Fleet on the ropes, he finds himself battle promoted onto a little missile frigate that’s more missile than frigate. But as his career begins he learns that command isn’t what they teach you in college but what you learn in the hard vacuum of space.

As Karl loses his first major fleet engagement he’s adrift on a dying hulk with his only hope for the future to be a half mad Captain who might be his greatest mentor or his worst enemy.

Maybe both.
