Description: Renegade by Joel Shepherd One thousand years after Earth was destroyed in an unprovoked attack, humanity has emerged victorious from a series of terrible wars to assure its place in the galaxy. But during celebrations on humanitys new homeworld, the legendary Captain Pantillo of the battle carrier Phoenix is court-martialed then killed, and his deputy, Lieutenant Commander Erik Debogande, the heir to humanitys most powerful industrial family, is framed for his murder. Assisted by Phoenixs marine commander Trace Thakur, Erik and Phoenix are forced to go on the run as they seek to unravel the conspiracy behind their captains demise, pursued to the death by their own fleet. What they discover about the truth behind the wars and the nature of humanitys ancient alien allies will shake the sentient galaxy to its core. Reviews I thought this was going to be yet another cookie-cutter space opera, boy was I wrong! This was fantastic....it hits the sweet spot between hard-science and imaginary scifi science. The hard science is very hard, from the perils of centrifugal spin-gravity in combat spacecraft to the destructive potential of ultra-fast kinetic energy weapons. The scifi science is made-up, but it has the key properties which all-too-often are missing: Internal Self-Consistency and Attention To Unintended Consequences. This makes the scifi science semi-hard as well......The characters are memorable and engaging......I have read this series out to book #6. It just keeps getting better and better.
