Broken Alliance

The Tracer Series, Book 2

By: David E Graham

Narrated by: Abe Goldfarb

The dust has barely settled but the nightmare, now known as Zero Day, echoes across the Settled Systems, leaving a fledgling Alliance grappling for stability. Sovereign's terrifying ambition to reshape humanity in its own image may have been thwarted, but its lingering threat casts a long shadow.

The crew of The Venture—Andre, Bex, Bishop, and Caleb—are now Alliance Tracers, tasked with hunting down those who seek to capitalize in the wake of Sovereign's defeat. But loyalty is a fragile thing in a universe still reeling from the brink of destruction. Meanwhile, General Katherine Mallory navigates a treacherous new battlefield, facing enemies as formidable in the Council Chambers as any on the front lines. And deep within Trelin Base, Commander Bryton guards the galaxy's most dangerous secret: Sovereign, whose unnatural power remains an ominous threat.

Old wounds fester and new forces rise, all vying to unlock Sovereign's power. As the fragile peace threatens to unravel, these heroes must choose where their allegiances lie. Will the Alliance endure this new era, or is it doomed to collapse and shatter into a Broken Alliance?

Critic reviews

"A smarter, sharper, and more human sequel, Broken Alliance doesn’t just expand the Tracer universe; it deepens it. It’s a story about courage, the cost of integrity, and the fragile alliances that define us all. Five stars well earned." — Christian Hurst, author of the Lily Starling series
