Tangent

Tangent

On the edge of human space a world rebels... The defacto state of war between humans and the Exos has existed for eighty years. A diplomatic resolution isn’t possible because no one has yet found a way to communicate with them. Major Brian Krayd’s world sits on the border between them, strategically invaluable because of its wealth of the one element that makes antimatter power possible. His planet has relied on an alliance of human worlds for protection and survival in the decades since its founding. But no more. With the majority of its people behind them, Tangent’s political leadership recently declared their intent to become independent. Unable to accept the loss of this key world, the Alliance has blockaded his planet and issued an ultimatum: Return to the fold or face the consequences. Now, Tangent’s fate may rest in the hands of one officer’s ability to harness the lethal technology of their enigmatic enemy.
