Four new adventures in the Taurus Reach with the starship crews, undercover agents, civilian colonists, and alien power players of the Vanguard saga.

Secret operations, sealed orders, high-risk military special operations ...such dangerous missions have been at the core of the Star Trek Vanguard series since its inception.
