[Star Carrier 08] • Bright Light

New York Times* bestselling military science fiction author Ian Douglas brings us the eighth—and penultimate—Star Carrier novel, *Bright Light*, combining the best action, adventure, and hard science into this universe-spanning series*

**There’s no more time . . .**

**There’s always more time . . .**

Trevor Gray has been stripped of his command of the starship *America*, and is unsure what to do with his life. Having dedicated so much of himself to the service, he knew following the super-AI Konstantin’s advice could have severe consequences. He just never thought he would be out of the fight.

Because that’s what Earth is in: a fight against a sinister alien force that is so technologically advanced, there seems little hope. And that’s why he had disobeyed his orders in the first place: to figure out a way to stop them. But now he’s beached.

Which is just what Konstantin wanted.

For the super-AI has a plan: connect Gray with the Pan-Europeans, and set him on a course to the remote star Deneb. There, he is to make contact with a mysterious alien civilization using the new artificial intelligence Bright Light, and maybe—if they can make it in time—prevent humanity from being wiped from the universe.
