Hold Fast Through the Fire

The members of team guarding earth from space take on new members and new challenges in this “top notch character driven science fiction” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

The Near-Earth Orbital Guard (Neo-G) Zuma's Ghost patrols and protects the solar system. The crew—led by the unparalleled ability of Jenks in the cage, the brilliant pairing of Ma and Max in the pilot seats, the technical savvy of Sapphi, and the sword skills of Tamago and Rosa—has all come together to form an unstoppable team. Until it all comes apart.

Their commander and Master Chief are both retiring. Which means Jenks is getting promoted, a new commander is joining them, and a fresh-faced spacer is arriving to shake up their perfect dynamics.

Spacer Chae Ho-ki earns a spot on the team. But there’s more to Chae that the crew doesn’t know, and they must hide a secret that could endanger everyone they love—as well as their new teammates—if it got out. At the same time, a seemingly untouchable coalition is attempting to take over trade with the Trappist colonies and start a war with the NeoG. When the crew of Zuma’s Ghost gets involved, they end up as targets of this ruthless enemy.

“Wagers's second NeoG novel serves up . . .everything their fans have come to expect: dug-in friendships, action, impossible odds, and clever dialogue that always hits home.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Wagers's sharp prose highlights the fast action and dialogue they're known for, bringing to life this story of found family, talent, and hard punches.” —Library Journal (starred review)
