Battlecruiser Alamo: The First Duty

The crew of the Battlecruiser Alamo has accomplished their mission, rescuing their lost crewmen from the clutches of the Cabal's slave markets, but at a terrible price. As they struggle to come to terms with the loss of Lieutenant-Captain Marshall and Lance-Corporal Cooper, the remainder of the expedition must unravel a mystery thousands of years old, while a hostile warship bears down on them, the last desperate bid of the Cabal to stop Alamo getting home.

The First Duty is the ninth book in the 'Battlecruiser Alamo' series.
