Having survived the final trials of the academy, Johanna and her friends begin their careers amidst the stars as midshipmen in the Alliance Navy fleet. As they take their first steps, hidden forces continue their work to destabilize the very alliance so many have fought to protect. Their plans will empower a madman, whose murderous attempt to usurp power will incite war for the first time in centuries.

After years of intense training in the star system of Havoc, five cadets are nearing graduation from the Academy which trains officers for the Alliance Navy, the force responsible for protecting humanity in a region of space far from Earth. Having survived every test the Academy has to offer, including a deadly encounter with rogue cadets that was never planned, the cadets must now embark on a new series of challenges that will have them face to face with aliens, meet high powered politicians, and tested for bravery under deadly stress.

I had plans, all right. The 3 Gs: grad school. Great job. Good, orderly life. Do you see a side helping of private investigating anywhere on that menu? I don't think so. So, how in the world did I find myself plunging headfirst into the dark depths of an underhanded, manipulative corporate scandal - risking life and career alike - when I should have been focused on my impending graduation and precisely planned future?

In a new region of space, the unified purpose of the human colonists has existed for over 800 years, but is now threatened by diverging interests from different factions. If there is one element holding the various colonies together, it is the Alliance's space navy which has guarded them all from previous alien invasions, hunted pirates, and enforced interstellar laws. Young adults from all the member worlds compete for entry into the academy, there to be trained and proven worthy of being officers in the honorable institution.

Quinn Bailey has absolutely no interest in sleuthing again any time soon. No way, no how. After her first foray into the dark world of private investigations almost derailed her career, Quinn is intent on staying laser-focused on finally becoming a doctor of audiology. With her big-girl job all lined up and graduation mere weeks away, her plan is just about to pay off. But her best friend, wily, headstrong PI Sloan McKenzie - has other plans.

Things are finally falling into place. Newly graduated and officially free of mobster drama, Quinn Bailey is on the eve of opening her very own audiology practice. If only pushy city officials, grudging competitors, and mysterious interlopers would leave her alone, her vow to mind her own (literal) business just might’ve worked.
