The Little Ships

Victory at the guns was only the beginning…

Now the fate of star nations may rest on one young lieutenant.

Newly promoted and thrust aboard a powerful ship of the line, Alexis Carew expects war—broadside duels, fleet engagements, and the clear enemy she understands. Instead, she finds herself at the center of something far more dangerous: a covert mission that could reshape the balance of power across human space.

Escorting diplomats into the heart of the French Republic, Alexis must navigate a world of politics, deception, and fragile alliances—where a misstep could doom entire systems. While war with Hanover rages in the background, a far more delicate battle unfolds in courtrooms and salons, where reputation is a weapon and appearances can decide the fate of empires.

But even as she struggles to master diplomacy, the dangers of the void remain. Enemy ships still hunt. Crews still bleed. And when crisis strikes, it won’t be grand fleets that decide the outcome…

It will be the little ships.


Duty. Diplomacy. Destiny.

The Little Ships continues the Alexis Carew series with thrilling space combat, rich naval tradition, and a deeper look at the political forces shaping interstellar war. From brutal gundeck action to high-stakes intrigue, Alexis must prove she can lead not just in battle—but in a universe where victory demands far more than firepower.
