Synopsis: Alone in the Dark

700 years or so in the future. The one unifying symbol that bound humans across colonized space, the Sol star and the Earth surrounding it has been destroyed about four years previous. The infrastructure of the massive empire still remains; but anarchy is universal. Various coups and tin pot dictators and even the eventual stable colonies, towns, small nations etc. Many fight and trade over resources, weapons, and remaining infrastructure.

There's one ship, filled with just a skeleton crew. It is a war ship without a navy to belong to. The remaining crew are basically those who were serving and had some calling to keep aboard this relatively small vessel taking up odd jobs like caravans, defensive work and other errands that hired guns and a good conscience can provide. It still bears its original name, the TUV Harbinger.

The Harbinger and its crew however find themselves though a seemingly simple job in the middle of a brutal unification war. Questioning what they do, where their loyalties lie and questioning whether or not they are even doing the right thing. That all combined with all the epic space battles and action scenes a good sci fi novel needs.
