More about the book

Damaged and left for dead, a spaceship must stop an alien planet-killer headed for Earth. As the alien vessel targets Earth, the survivors of the first human mission to Europa face their greatest challenge. Stranded and under constant attack, acting commander Jack Kildare is determined to bring the Spirit of Destiny back home. However, his warnings go unheeded, and he realizes that if the alien ship reaches Earth, there may be no home to return to. Forgotten and abandoned, Jack and his crewmates embark on a desperate pursuit of the alien behemoth threatening humanity. They find unexpected allies in a group of dissident aliens brought aboard, but these passengers dangerously overload the ship's life-support systems, leading to challenges against Jack's authority. With the Spirit of Destiny on a perilous trajectory home, the crew faces impossible odds in their chase. Can they catch the alien planet-killer, or will Jack's decision to help the refugees jeopardize their survival? The future of humanity depends on their success, but will they make it back alive? This is the third book in a fast-paced quartet of technothrillers, blending hard science fiction with gripping storytelling. The final installment will be published soon.
