Vanguard of the Stars

Isaac_Al
For decades, the "Dead Zone" has been a graveyard of silent stars and failed colonies, a dark frontier that humanity has carefully avoided. That changes with the launch of the Vanguard, a state-of-the-art scout ship commanded by the pragmatic but haunted Captain Harry Hampton. Harry’s mission is simple: investigate a sudden distress signal from a colony that was supposed to be extinct. When the Vanguard arrives, they find the colony not just empty, but physically dismantled. Before Thorne can investigate further, an ancient, terrifying fleet of biomechanical ships—the Drealius—emerges from the void. They aren't interested in diplomacy; they are a systematic force of erasure, and they have been waiting for someone to lead them back to inhabited space. With their long-range comms sabotaged and their engines damaged in the initial ambush, the crew of the Vanguard is cut off from Earth. Thorne must lead his mismatched crew of engineers and soldiers through a deadly game of cat-and-mouse among the stars. They are the only ones who know the Drealius are coming. If the Vanguard doesn't make it back to warn the United Sol Command, the frontier won't just be lost—it will be the beginning of the end for humanity.
