Kaine's Sanction: Shattered Empire Book 1

"Kaine's Sanction" – A Military Space Opera Adventure

An unprepared officer. A crumbling ship. A battle for survival.

When the UEF Scimitar is dispatched to retrieve an archaeologist from an isolated Terran colony, young officer Hayden Kaine anticipates a straightforward mission. But when a catastrophic accident traps the ship in a quarantined star system, the crew’s survival becomes their only mission.

Ambushed by a relentless and mysterious alien species, the Scimitar is left in ruins, half the crew dead or injured, including the captain. With no one else to turn to, Kaine, the sole surviving bridge officer, must step up as commander. Inexperienced and facing distrust from his crew, Kaine must lead them through the chaos.

As an overwhelming alien invasion fleet gathers to crush the unsuspecting confederation, Kaine faces mutiny and betrayal within his ranks. Racing against time, he must find a way to warn Earth of the impending doom. If he fails, the 500-year-old empire will crumble, and humanity will be annihilated by an enemy that defies the very laws of physics.

Join Hayden Kaine in a desperate battle for survival and glory. Fans of The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica will be riveted by D.M. Pruden's "Kaine's Sanction," the heart-pounding first instalment in the Shattered Empire series.
