Captain John Porter was never supposed to command a starship.
A former sanitation officer with a talent for improvisation, bad habits, and worse judgment, Porter somehow finds himself in the center seat of the USS Horizon-a stripped-down Starfleet vessel running on trust, duct tape, and people who believe in him.
The crew calls him John.
Starfleet calls him unorthodox.
The universe calls his bluff.
As the Horizon explores deep space, Porter builds a ship culture unlike any other-punk rock holodeck shows, dangerous honesty, and a belief that rules exist to serve life, not the other way around. Alongside a young Vulcan science officer fascinated by humor, an old enlisted lifer who's seen too much, and a crew learning how to trust each other, John navigates threats both cosmic and ethical.
Then they encounter a world they are forbidden to save.
Faced with the ultimate test of the Prime Directive, John must decide what kind of captain he truly is-and what the cost of doing the right thing really means.
A Star Trek-inspired sci-fi drama about leadership, found family, moral courage, and the noise we make before the universe goes silent.
