THE MASK OF ETERNITY by Jack Mackenzie

A FORGOTTEN WORLD, A POWERFUL ARTIFACT AND A GALAXY ON THE BRINK OF WAR

Solis DeLacey, captain of the ACSC ship BOSTON, has been sent to a newly discovered world rich in natural resources. But one ship and her crew has already gone missing while surveying the planet and the finger of suspicion is pointing directly to the ACSC`s sworn enemy, the Orion Hegemony.

DeLacey, her crew and a ship full of scientists find a world teeming with life including the enigmatic natives, the Shum. But with the arrival of a Hegemony vessel crewed by Da’baa’kh, ruthless, animal-like soldiers, the game changes. The Da’baa’kh are hell bent on finding an ancient treasure – an artifact powerful enough to bring the entire ACSC to its knees.

Now DeLacey must discover its secret and defeat her enemies before the galaxy is plunged into total war.
