Summary

In eternity, there was no hurry.

In the year AD 3196, humankind is thriving and striving for the stars. Among them stand the Mortalis, flesh-and-blood beings who can live extensively by xulon, a life-preserving plant that gives health and vitality when ingested. Then there were the Ascended, immortal transcended beings that can reside in both the natural and supernatural elements.

Follow Lieutenant Colonel Marion, a 200-and-something (friendly warning: never ask her real age!) woman about to lead an expedition across the stars to scout and colonize planets.

“When angered, her eyes flashed; with a black vengeance that struck her enemies with dread.

She is the third centennial officer and the commander of the famed Black Warrior Battalion, a small squadron elite skilled in every art of battle. And she runs a tight ship.

"I want everything to run smoothly once we reach Midway Station. We don’t have room for mistakes on our mission."

But the stars harbor dangerous exotic worlds and alien kingdoms on the brink of war. Soon Marion finds herself and her crew caught up in this political whirlwind, with betrayals, gunshots, loss, and death at every turn. It isn’t long until Marion begins to question her faith and life purpose.

The Mortalis can live a long life, but that doesn’t make them immortal.

All hands! Battle stations!
