The Guardians: Escape Across Tirgonia

About the Book

The three primary Guardian outposts along the Agreed Zone, which separated the Guardian Republic from the Tirgonia Independent Empire, are suddenly and savagely attacked. The years of peace enjoyed by the Guardians ends with what the Tirgonians believe to be the complete annihilation of the foremost nemesis of the Empire.

Initially, the only Guardians known to have survived are on long-range patrol duty, known as Probe. As the five ships of Probe Red return, a Lieutenant Commander Gandle Hoppinzorinski received a distress call from survivors. Now Hops, as Hoppinzorinski prefers to be called, along with the commanders of Probe Orange and Probe Gold from the two other devastated outposts, are the only hope for survival for the remnants of this once proud and peaceful civilization.
