For the night might come when even an untried young cadet must hold the bridge alone against the most devastating of foes ... Also included in this remarkable collection are eighteen short stories that showcase Nix's versatility as he adds a fantastical twist on an array of genres including science fiction, paranormal, realistic fiction, mystery, and adventure ...
