Forget minor hazards like nuclear bombs. The discovery of time travel means that everything we know, anyone we know, might not only vanish, but never even have existed. Against that possibility stand the men and women of the Time Patrol, dedicated to preserving the history they know and protecting the future from fanatics, terrorists, and would-be dictators who would remold the shape of reality to suit their own purposes. 

Alexander's victory over a ruthless pirate lord has made him a marked man. His name now echoes across the frontier, a hero to some, a threat to others, and a prize the self-proclaimed Pirate Emperor Harlow cannot ignore. To defend his home on Eden's End, Alexander seeks allies among the Asgardian Union, a powerful faction born of betrayal and survival. The STO calls them pirates, but Alexander soon learns the truth is far more complicated. While he struggles to earn their trust, Harlow turns his fury toward him. This time, the war will not stop at one world.

On the remote world of Eden's End, Alexander has carved out a fragile refuge: a workshop turned enterprise, a home for thousands, and a place to raise the daughter he never expected to have.

Alexander knows he isn't built like any other robot, and someone has noticed. A pirate lord has marked him for capture, convinced Alexander can build the war engines he needs to elevate his rag-tag fleet into an empire.

Important questions one and all, but for Captain Space Hardcore—intergalactic adventurer, full-time hero, raconteur, accomplished oboist—there is a more pressing question: how do you fight a time travelling madman who wants to end your life?
