Guardians of the Unknown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798312269604)

Guardians of the Unknown

Jack "Orbit" Callahan has always thrived on the edge, using dry humor to mask the fear that comes with being a fighter pilot. When he earns a shot at flying the F-22 Raptor, he pushes his limits-until a mission goes south, leaving him shot down and captured behind enemy lines. Against impossible odds, he escapes, rescues fellow captives, and returns home a war hero.

Seeking a new challenge, Orbit transfers to the Space Force and earns his place among the elite as an astronaut. He sets a record for the longest mission aboard the ISS, proving that he was never meant to stay grounded. But his journey takes a shocking turn when he and his closest friend, Dax "Torch" Ramirez, stumble upon an unidentified spacecraft drifting in the void. What begins as a routine investigation spirals into an interstellar adventure, launching them into the heart of a cosmic war.

Orbit and Torch soon find themselves battling ruthless space raiders, forging uneasy alliances with alien civilizations, and uncovering secrets that could change humanity's place in the universe forever. As the stakes grow higher, Orbit must rely on his wit, courage, and unshakable loyalty to his friend to survive.

From high-speed dogfights in Earth's skies to the depths of space and beyond, Guardians of the Unknown is a high-octane adventure blending military action, sci-fi intrigue, and the humor that makes even the darkest moments bearable.
