Vanguard / Jack Campbell.
Earth is no longer the center of the universe. After the invention of the faster-than-light jump drive, humanity is rapidly establishing new colonies. But the vast distances of space mean that the protections of Earth's laws no longer exist. When a nearby world attacks, the new colony of Glenlyon turns to Robert Geary, a former junior fleet officer, and Mele Darcy, a onetime enlisted Marine. They must face down warships and armored soldiers with nothing but improvised weapons and a few volunteers - or die trying. The only hope for lasting peace lies with Carmen Ochoa, a "Red" from the anarchic world of Mars, and Lochan Nakamura, a failed politician, and their plan for mutual alliance. But if their efforts don't succeed, space could become a battlefield between the first interstellar empires...
