Rich space opera in a mind-boggling universe.

In the 24th century, human civilization has made a great leap forward, colonizing over a thousand planets and exploring thousands more.

They also survived a bloody civil war.

Now, humanity must struggle with revolutionary changes. In the Xan-4 System, both scientists and Federation soldiers, including Sergeant Henryan Darski, temporarily on parole, secretly observe two alien races from an orbital station. The sergeant must identify a group of people who—against procedures—are trying to save one of the races. At stake is not only the survival of the Warriors of the Bone, but also Henryan's life.

Meanwhile, in the distant New Rouen System, the Nomad, a ship from the Recycling Corps, finds a mysterious, millennia-old shipwreck while clearing the fields of long-forgotten space battles. The derelict's advanced technology is impressive...

...but the being found onboard could shake the very foundation of human civilization...

Book one in The Fields of Long-Forgotten Battles series.
