Starfall Guardian's Path

Humanity's first steps into the cosmos come with a price. In the 23rd century, Earth Federation pilot Lin Lan commands the starfighter Dawn through uncharted star systems, where wonder and terror walk hand in hand. When first contact with alien lifeforms shatters the dream of peaceful exploration, she must become more than just humanity's shield—she must become its sword. In the endless void between stars, every mission could be her last, and every decision could doom or save billions.
