Peacemakers. The Galactic Union's most capable enforcers and resolute negotiators, their name alone elicits fear and awe among the Union's citizenry.
As the Omega War unfurls, the Peacemaker Guild has fallen into disarray. The mysterious Counselor has manipulated Guild Master Rsach's Crusaders into a cut-throat, authoritarian construct determined to make the peace galaxy-wide. To deal the final blow and transform the Guild forever, Counselor gathers Rsach and his closest allies at a remote location intent on assassination.
Jessica Francis, Earth's first Peacemaker, has her own reasons to gather her friends and allies. The search for her father, James "Snowman" Francis has ended. The interstellar shipping magnate and mercenary commander has been captured by the Science Guild and a longtime rival with a grudge. As Jessica's plan to rescue him suffers catastrophic losses, her very world is forever changed.
There is no time to recover as Force 25, commanded by Tara Mason, are the next victims of Counselor's plan. To save her friend and still have a chance at rescuing her father, Jessica puts her faith in one of her father's mysterious friends, Bull. Together, they launch a daring rescue to retrieve Snowman from a Science Guild outpost deep within the forbidden Fourth Arm. When the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same for anyone who manages to walk away.
