Paperback. In the cold vacuum between the stars, freedom is the first casualty.On the remote frontier colony of Haven Reach, Tod Riley believed he had escaped the corruption of humanity's sprawling interstellar government. Far from the crushing bureaucracy and political tyranny of the Unity Authority, life on the isolated station was hard-but it was free.Then the Unity Navy arrived.Dragged from his home alongside six other colonists, Tod is forced into brutal conscription aboard a decaying warship commanded by a ruthless captain whose loyalty to the Unity masks darker ambitions. Beatings, starvation, disappearances, and deadly combat missions become part of daily life as the captives are transformed into expendable tools of an empire built on fear and obedience.But something is wrong aboard the ship.Cargo vanishes. Witnesses die. Entire civilian freighters disappear without explanation. As the body count rises and whispers of piracy spread through the lower decks, Tod realizes the horrifying truth: the Unity Navy is not protecting humanity-it is feeding on it.Now trapped light-years from home inside a corrupt military machine, Tod must decide whether survival is enough. To escape, he will have to outwit armed marines, survive impossible odds, and ignite rebellion among prisoners and crew alike. Failure means death. Success could expose a conspiracy powerful enough to shake human civilization itself. Perfect for fans of Robert A. Heinlein, James S. A. Corey, and gritty dystopian military science fiction, Unity Captives is a grimdark space opera of oppression, resistance, and the enduring human fight for liberty against unstoppable power.

On the remote frontier colony of Haven Reach, Tod Riley believed he had escaped the corruption of humanity’s sprawling interstellar government. Far from the crushing bureaucracy and political tyranny of the Unity Authority, life on the isolated station was hard—but it was free.
Then the Unity Navy arrived.
Dragged from his home alongside six other colonists, Tod is forced into brutal conscription aboard a decaying warship commanded by a ruthless captain whose loyalty to the Unity masks darker ambitions. Beatings, starvation, disappearances, and deadly combat missions become part of daily life as the captives are transformed into expendable tools of an empire built on fear and obedience.
But something is wrong aboard the ship.
Cargo vanishes. Witnesses die. Entire civilian freighters disappear without explanation. As the body count rises and whispers of piracy spread through the lower decks, Tod realizes the horrifying truth: the Unity Navy is not protecting humanity—it is feeding on it.
Now trapped light-years from home inside a corrupt military machine, Tod must decide whether survival is enough. To escape, he will have to outwit armed marines, survive impossible odds, and ignite rebellion among prisoners and crew alike. Failure means death. Success could expose a conspiracy powerful enough to shake human civilization itself.
Perfect for fans of Robert A. Heinlein, James S. A. Corey, and gritty dystopian military science fiction, Unity Captives is a grimdark space opera of oppression, resistance, and the enduring human fight for liberty against unstoppable power.
