Synopsis: "The fleet is in shambles, and an even greater alien threat is on the horizon. Commander Walker, a cunning Special Warfare Operator, narrowly escapes the Saarkturian armada. But when he crashes on a hostile alien planet, hordes of vicious creatures try to kill him. His only hope of survival is an unlikely alliance that may just turn deadly. Captain Slade, once considered a Federation hero, is stripped of her command and sentenced to life in prison on the treacherous Alpha Ceti 7. To get the USS Scorpion back, she'll have to survive the horrors of a corrupt super-max prison and battle the unscrupulous politicians that wrongly convicted her. With a second wave of alien attacks eminent, Slade and her band of misfits are mankind's only hope." – quoted from this book's product page on Amazon.com as of 2017-07-07.
