DOMINION

The Gods are no longer watching from a distance.

After the events of Alpha-1: Book One, Ward has bought humanity time - but not peace.

Across the galaxy, a faction of immortal beings has broken from the old order. They call themselves the Dominion, and they believe power exists to be used. Led by Malachar, four battleships set course for Earth, chasing the source of an impossible intervention that shattered their certainty and exposed a threat they cannot ignore.

Ward, Eirene, and the growing Alpha-1 command network know what is coming. Earth is still primitive by galactic standards, but Alpha-1 is no longer alone. New stations, new crews, and new weapons have been prepared in secret. The trap is set - not just to survive the Dominion, but to make them understand that humanity is no longer defenceless.

But victory carries consequences. The Caretaker's mistake has changed the board. Eirene is no longer merely an intelligence obeying orders. Malachar is not merely an enemy. And Ward must decide how far he is willing to go to protect a world that still has no idea it is at war.

Dominion is the second book in the Alpha-1 series: military science fiction, ancient powers, artificial intelligence, hidden fleets, moral consequence, and the moment humanity stops being prey.
