Midshipman Henry Gallant in Space (The Henry Gallant Saga Book 1) by H. Peter Alesso
As the last starfighter, only Henry Gallant can stop the alien invasion.
In the twenty-second century, genetic engineering has transformed humanity. Every officer in the United Planets space navy has been enhanced, their DNA optimized for peak performance. Every officer except one.
Midshipman Henry Gallant is the last Natural in the fleet. Unenhanced. Doubted by his shipmates. Dismissed by superiors who believe he cannot compete. Assigned to the battlecruiser Repulse on the volatile Jupiter frontier, Gallant must prove that courage and ingenuity matter more than engineered DNA.
When a devastating alien armada launches an all-out assault on the Jupiter colonies, three hundred fifty thousand colonists face annihilation. In the chaos of battle, Gallant boards a crippled enemy warship, captures vital alien technology, and becomes the last starfighter of Squadron 111. Wounded, low on fuel, and hunted through the asteroid belt, he must fly a damaged Eagle fighter across millions of kilometers of hostile space to deliver the intelligence that could turn the tide of war.
But survival is only the beginning. Political enemies and powerful industrialists have their own plans for the young midshipman, and the alien threat is far from over.
Midshipman Henry Gallant in Space is the first book in the nine-book Henry Gallant Saga, a military science fiction series in the tradition of Honor Harrington and Horatio Hornblower. It features epic fleet battles, fighter combat, an underdog hero’s journey from raw recruit to decorated veteran, and a slow-burn romance set against the backdrop of interplanetary war.
