Notice to Mariners: Book 1, Orion Federation Series

An urgent rescue mission turns into a deadly encounter for Jake and the crew of the shuttle Pegasus.

Jacob Van de Harvey is ordered by his reserve unit’s commanding officer to report to Federation Navy headquarters. Jake is told a Federation starship, the Portland Zee, has suddenly gone missing. No other qualified officers are available, so the Federation needs Jake to lead an urgent rescue mission to save the lost ship. The catch is Jake has to quit his regular job and accept an officer’s commission in the Orion Federation Navy.

Jake and the crew of the shuttle Pegasus depart on their mission, only to encounter something far more deadly than they expected. They discover the missing ship has been destroyed. But by who? And why?
