The End of Restraint: Werno Doctorine: 1

The first shot wasn't supposed to happen. Humanity offered peace. The invaders answered with annihilation. A warlike empire from Andromeda has crossed into the Milky Way, demanding surrender. Captain Jayla Werno, commanding the Alliance dreadnought Prentis, becomes the first human officer to face them. The enemy expects an easy conquest. Instead, they awaken the doctrine humanity buried centuries ago. The doctrine that ended two species. As the Andromedan assault tears through Alliance defenses, Werno must decide how far she's willing to go, and whether unleashing humanity's full strength will save the galaxy... or burn it down. A fleet-focused, tactical military sci-fi epic, perfect for fans of The Lost Fleet, Honor Harrington, and Old Man's War. In this book, you'll find: - Massive fleet battles with real tactical depth- A warlike empire from Andromeda with terrifying motives- A commander forced into impossible decisions- Humanity's long-buried doctrine unleashed- A captain torn between restraint and the doctrine she was born into- A galaxy that fears what humans become when provoked
