The Line Must Hold.
The Seventh Fleet is gone. High Command is dead. And the battle-scarred cruiser Gallowglass is all that stands between an unstoppable alien vanguard and the absolute annihilation of humanity.
Left drifting in the deep-space graveyard of the Aegis Trench, Commander Caleb Vance is out of options, out of time, and out of trained soldiers. To survive the night, the Dying Light Battalion must rely on the desperate and the broken: civilian techs, hydroponics workers, and raw conscripts handed old-pattern kinetic rifles and shoved directly into the line of fire.
Leading the defense is Sergeant Jax Reyes, a battle-hardened marine who knows that in the tight, freezing corridors of a dying flagship, every inch of steel is paid for in blood.
When the enemy vanguard closes the trap, the Battalion turns the very geography of the void into a weapon. What follows is a brutal, relentless fight for survival-from high-stakes stealth sabotage inside the icy bellies of drifting asteroids to a gritty, room-by-room meat grinder as enemy shock troops breach the hull.
They are outgunned. They are outnumbered. But they are about to prove to the dark that humanity will not go quietly.
