Description
Following humanity's disastrous discovery of sentient extraterrestrial life, and with public opinion rapidly moving towards blaming the "aggressive nature" of Naval High Command as being the reason why first contact with an alien culture resulted in hundreds of deaths, the former cadets of Flight Methuselah are given shore leave while the INS Heinlein is stripped of her University Frigate designation and outfitted as the warship she was originally meant to be. Taking on a complete crew and the final phase of the Navy's long-range fighter experiment, Project Baskerville, the Heinlein's first objective as part of the active fleet is set just a day after Methuselah settles in for their vacation when another alien ship appears on the fringes of explored space and ambushes the Tiaha Migrant Fleet, birthplace of one of their own. With little time to recover from their own losses, the new marines of Flight Methuselah head back into space to escort the Tiaha fleet to the Lalande Repair Yards in Colonial territory, discovering along the way that not all of humanity was as unaware of the existence of the incursion aliens as they had once believed. INCURSION VECTOR is the sequel to CADET FLIGHT METHUSELAH. Currently updating on Mondays.
