The Morcai Battalion: The Recruits

A prophecy foretold: Three years after the unprovoked attack on a peaceful colony, the war between the Rojok dynasty and the Tri-Galaxy Fleet rages on. Born of that war is the Morcai Battalion, a fleet comprised of Centaurians and humans–the first collaboration of its kind and a step toward an intergalactic alliance.

But the fragile union is tested as their courageous commander in chief, Dtimun, is faced with the temptation of the forbidden–and human–Dr. Madeline Ruszel. A combat surgeon, Ruszel is aware of the danger of inciting a Centaurian's interest, even if he is the most intriguing of men.

Besides putting their mission at risk, personal relations between their kinds are still outlawed. But a prophecy that touches on both their lives and the future of all alien nations hints that a greater unity may be theirs for the taking… if they, and their crew, survive in the battle for peace.
