<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>With his critically acclaimed military science fiction debut series, Dave Bara launched readers on a star-spanning journey of discovery, diplomacy, and danger. </b> <p/>The Lightship H.M.S. Impulse is gone, sacrificed in a battle against First Empire ships. And though the fragile galactic alliance has survived the unexpected invasion, the Union forces might not prove victorious against a full onslaught by this legendary enemy. <p/> For Peter Cochrane, serving as an officer aboard his world's flagship, H.M.S. Starbound is a dream come true. Tasked with investigating a mysterious space station in a rediscovered star system, Peter and Starbound face a surprise attack by unknown forces and suffer terrible losses. <p/> But there is no time to grieve or even regroup as Peter is thrust into a new crisis, a potential civil war on the Union world of Carinthia. Caught between his rank in the navy and his status as a royal heir, Peter is put on trial for the loss of Impulse, used as a political pawn as Carinthia stands on the brink of a devastating conflict. Peter escapes but faces the prospect of interstellar war when he learns of a possible alliance between the First Empire and Carinthia, a coalition which could tear the Union apart! <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the Lightship Chronicles: <p/>"If you liked <i>Star Trek Into Darkness</i>, you'll like Dave Bara's <i>Impulse</i>." --<b>Jack Campbell, New York Times bestselling author of the <i>Lost Fleet</i> series<br></b><br>"This <b>guy is the next Jack Campbell</b>; it's that good." --T. C. McCarthy, author of the Subterrene War series <p/>"In <i>Starbound</i>, Bara manages to ramp up the depth and complexity of his world while retaining that sense of <b>excitement, suspense, and adventure</b>." --Barnes & Noble Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog <p/>"This energetic mélange of tried-and-true elements--futuristic jargon, military and romantic tactics, and multiple levels of skullduggery--easily <b>grabs the reader's attention</b>; more impressive is that Bara's story holds that attention all the way to the end." --<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>"The crew themselves prove to be wonderfully diverse.... There's always a human quirk to their dialogue that makes them feel far more alive. <i>Impulse</i> shows <b>what J. J. Abrams could have done with <i>[Star Trek] Into Darkness</i></b>." --Starburst Magazine <p/>"<i>Impulse</i> is an exciting space opera that fans of <i>Star Trek</i> will enjoy.... With plenty of suspense, drama, unique technology, and romance -- <b>this sci-fi adventure has it all</b>. I thoroughly enjoyed this romp through deep space from relatable characters to the clever plot." --SciFiChick <p/>"A fun and engaging story. The protagonist comes across as relatable and believable.... <b> <i>Impulse</i> is a winner</b> for me." --SFF World <p/>Totally convincing space navy--check! <b>Perfectly realized characters complete with depth and heroism--</b>check! Plus, a fascinating story with an Ahab of a captain determined to complete his mission, and a fledgling lieutenant who comes into his own in the midst of interstellar conflict. Oh yeah: exploding spaceships--double check! --Tony Daniel, national bestselling author of <i>Guardian of Night</i> <p/><b><i>Impulse</i> is fun, fast, and proper science fiction, where the stakes are big and things matter because the characters matter</b>. I enjoyed the hell out of this. <i>Impulse </i>should be an impulse buy. --Simon R. Green, bestselling author of the <i>Deathstalker </i>series<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dave Bara</b> was born at the dawn of the space age and grew up watching the Gemini and Apollo space programs on television, dreaming of becoming an astronaut one day.
