[Book 2 of the ARC10 Trilogy]

Rampant addictions, psychotic breakdowns, and threats of mutiny keep Commander Janika Lorn up all night. Transporting two-thousand souls safely from a destroyed Earth to a new habitat aboard the refugee ship ARC10 has been a special kind of hell - especially while also hiding her illegal pregnancy from her commanding officer. She wonders if they should turn around and take their chances in the crumbling underground bunker city they abandoned, even with the hostile invading aliens still patrolling the sky. She wonders if they're capable of surviving the rest of the journey.

Because it seems like her troubles couldn't get any worse, and they've only been in space for three months.

As usual, Commander Janika Lorn is wrong. 

When she finally hits an all-time low in the confines of an alien prison, a botched rescue operation puts her life in the black-gloved hands of Captain Shin-Hyun Moon of the HMS Valediction - a notorious vagrant and patchwork monster who was stitched together with the eclectic skins of the galaxy. Despite being instant enemies, Lorn and Moon are forced to work together to salvage their separate missions that have gone totally awry. 



HMS Valediction is the sequel to 2017 Watty winner ARC10, the second installation of the ARC10 trilogy.

7 parts Ongoing Mature
Saiphee, a brilliant scientist aboard a high-tech space station, is assigned a mission that seems simple at first: find and secure a weapon capable of destroying humanity. His partner in this mission is Vantheos, a strong-willed and enigmatic Interstellar Voyager, whose sharp instincts and cold professionalism are vital to the success of their task. But as the two men venture together to Earth, where the weapon is rumored to be hidden, they discover that nothing is as it seems, and the true purpose of their mission is far darker than either of them could have imagined. As they delve deeper into their search, uncovering hidden secrets and long-forgotten histories, Saiphee and Vantheos begin to realize that their mission is not just about finding a weapon, it's about something far more dangerous and personal. There is a secret, a truth buried in the very core of their mission, and the closer they get to unraveling it, the more their trust in each other, and in their superiors, begins to crack. As they face betrayals from within their own ranks, Saiphee and Vantheos can no longer ignore the undeniable attraction growing between them. What started as a professional partnership becomes something more intense, more complicated, as they struggle with the powerful emotions that pull them together. In the face of danger, deception, and the growing threat of the weapon they seek, Saiphee and Vantheos must confront the ultimate question: can they trust each other enough to survive the truth of their mission-and the passion that has ignited between them?
