Following humanity's disastrous discovery of sentient extraterrestrial life, and with public opinion rapidly moving towards blaming the "aggressive nature" of Naval High Command as being the reason why first contact with an alien culture resulted in hundreds of deaths, the former cadets of Flight Methuselah are given shore leave while the INS Heinlein is stripped of her University Frigate designation and outfitted as the warship she was originally meant to be. Taking on a complete crew and the final phase of the Navy's long-range fighter experiment, Project Baskerville, the Heinlein's first objective as part of the active fleet is set just a day after Methuselah settles in for their vacation when another alien ship appears on the fringes of explored space and ambushes the Tiaha Migrant Fleet, birthplace of one of their own. With little time to recover from their own losses, the new marines of Flight Methuselah head back into space to escort the Tiaha fleet to the Lalande Repair Yards in Colonial territory, discovering along the way that not all of humanity was as unaware of the existence of the incursion aliens as they had once believed. INCURSION VECTOR is the sequel to CADET FLIGHT METHUSELAH. Currently updating on Mondays.

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.
