Thrilling Space Opera Aboard the Andromeda!
When Captain Dylan Hunt's ship The Andromeda Ascendant of the Systems Commonwealth High Guard ventures near a world on the galactic rim to make friendly contact, it is attacked. Suffering severe damage, the crew must find a drift, an asteroid-based installation where they can resupply and repair the ship.
Too far from a supply depot, they must depend upon a Waystation, a disused depot on a frozen world long abandoned by the Commonwealth. The Waystation might have parts the crew can use for repairs, but something lurks on the surface of this frozen world. Malevolent and dangerous, it has been waiting for centuries. In the long history of the old Systems Commonwealth there are secrets which have never been revealed. What terrible force has the Andromeda crew unleashed?
"Fans of the syndicated show will enjoy this new escapade."

The popular SF/adventure series Gene Roddenberrys Andromeda is syndicated in all major US markets and the SciFi Channel. The Andromeda Ascendant and its crew arrive at Paradise Drift in need of rest and relaxation. The drift, a recreational asteroid, wants to join the new Systems Commonwealth, and offers visitors fantasy scenarios of all kinds. It all seems wonderful, but complications arise: a young woman has unfinished business with Harper, Beka is pursued by a bounty hunter, and Captain Hunt learns that gambling in the drift isnt as no-strings-attached as the other fantasies. On-ship, Tyr stands guard, but despite his vigilance theres trouble afoot. It all adds up to an exciting, suspenseful deep-space adventure. |

William Boone. When the Taelons came to Earth, he was tapped to be the human who would work most closely with Da'an, the mysteriously powerful and enigmatic leader who speaks for the alien Companions.
Boone became many things: confidant, bodyguard, interpreter...and undercover agent for the human Resistance. But little has been told of Boone's past, of the events that prepared him for this perilous assignment.
Now it is revealed: from his duty overseas during the S/I War to his life in the United States, from the arrival of aliens on Earth to his first encounter with the mysterious Augur, here for the first time is the story behind mankind's first double agent in the underground war between human and alien--and the Resistance's first martyr.

It seemed too good to be true...
When marauding ships attack the Andromeda Ascendant, the Andromeda crew, desperate to save their ship, slipstream to a world called Festival, which fends off their mysterious attackers and welcomes the crew with open arms. The crew couldn't be happier. Festival wishes to join the Commonwealth, and, as its name implies, is a safe haven, a perfect place for relaxing and indulging in life's finer pleasures.
But there's something not quite right about Festival. Captain Dylan Hunt is suspicious of the large number of armed soldiers who are ostensibly providing security for their visit. And when his crew finds a big underground bash, the revelers seem more tense than happy. Dylan and crew uncover a diabolical scheme seething beneath the planet's utopian façade: Festival's planetary government is really a powerful militant regime bent on forcing neighboring worlds to join the new Commonwealth against their own volition.
Before the Andromeda crew can do anything about Festival's strong-arm tactics, they receive a distress call from a renowned peace ambassador whose ship is being attacked by space pirates. In a bloody battle, Dylan and his crew defeat the attacking pirates. After the smoke clears, they learn from the ambassador the rulers of Festival don't just want to join the Commonwealth . . . they want to rule it! Suddenly, Festival seems like the Andromeda's worst nightmare. Captain Hunt and the crew have their hands full escaping from the clutches of Festival's power-hungry government, and trying to keep the peace within the Commonwealth. |
