Blurb:
Contact with a race of pacifists convinces mankind to lay
down its weapons and keep the peace. The last Medal of Honor recipient, Trent
Maxwell, trades glory for the comforts of a family after the U.S. Army
disbands. All that ends when an alien menace attacks the New Earth colony,
which forces a crash mobilization.
Trent
finds himself reactivated and traveling through space to distant worlds, in
order to stop this new enemy. During the century long journey of death, love,
and loss, he also deals with the law of relativity that wreaks havoc with his
daughter.

Excerpt
Trent knelt down where Anna could throw her
arms around his neck. She pulled against him tight and started crying again.
Tears rolled down his face as he whispered, “I love you more than you can
understand. I’m sorry.”
Her cries drowned out his soft words.
After a minute, Trent summoned all of his
strength to break free of her hold. Standing, he shared a look with Madison.
She wrapped him in a loving, warm hug.
This time she did the whispering, “Remember
what I told you. Make them pay.”
He pulled away, nodding as he placed his hand
on Anna’s sobbing head.
“I’ll see you both again someday. I promise.”
The words bound him to a promise he wasn’t sure he could keep.
