An obsolete ship. A disgraced captain. One chance at redemption.

For a hundred and fifty years, an uneasy peace has endured within the Ballenverse—a hundred-light-year sphere centered on Sol. But now Corporate forces have launched a ruthless surprise attack, leaving the United Earth Alliance fleet shattered and Earth, along with her allies, desperate and reeling.

Disgraced Jumpship captain Tarak Draeger has spent three long, bitter years languishing in jail for war crimes after destroying a civilian ship. But now he’s dragged from his cell, placed in command of an obsolete cruiser known as Hellhound, and given a deadly mission in the heart of enemy territory.

For Draeger, facing a hostile crew, doubting his own abilities, and dealing with a murderous traitor onboard, the vicious Corporate commander determined to annihilate him and his ship is almost the least of his problems.

A Crimson Void is the first in a new series set two hundred years after the Joe Ballen and Logan’s World novels.
