Outcast's Oath (Maxwell's War Book 1)

Ten years ago, the Terran Commonwealth dispatched its most advanced ship, CSS Eudoxus, on a top-secret mission to the distant Sargasso Sector, a mission so secret that when the ship failed to return, all trace of its existence was expunged from the archives, never to be spoken of again, her crew lost and forgotten. There she rested, fading into history, and her terrible discovery rested with her. Until a long-range patrol ship, CSS Endurance, stumbles across her during what should have been a routine planetary survey, only to be ambushed and attacked by the sinister fighters of a hitherto-unknown doomsday cult. Flight Lieutenant Carter Maxwell, commanding a crew of misfits and outcasts, must win the race to uncover the truth of the mystery that sent Eudoxus and her crew into the dark, lest humanity’s fragile peace be torn asunder forever, and the shadow of war return to a battered, weary Earth… ‘Maxwell’s War’ is the latest military science-fiction series by Richard Tongue, author of more than eighty military science-fiction novels including the acclaimed ‘Lincoln’s War’, ‘Dreadnought’ and ‘Battlecruiser Alamo’ series.
