The war is over. The nightmare is just beginning. Zero Day shattered the Settled Systems. Sovereign's bid to remake humanity failed - but the wound it left is deep, and something is already moving in the dark to tear it open again. Andre and the crew of The Venture are Alliance Tracers now, hunting those who would weaponize Sovereign's defeat. But loyalty is a fragile thing when the people you fight for are just as dangerous as the enemies you hunt. General Katherine Mallory wages a different kind of war - one fought in Council Chambers, where the knives are political and the stakes are just as lethal. And deep inside Trelin Base, Commander Bryton guards the galaxy's most dangerous secret: Sovereign itself, still alive, still watching. Old wounds. New enemies. A peace that was never meant to last. The Alliance survived Zero Day. But can it survive what comes next? Broken Alliance is the explosive second chapter of the Tracer Series - for readers who want their space opera with real stakes and moral weight.
