The Husaria Gambit (The Lightning War)

In an age of conventional warfare, where battles are won by railguns and guts, a single captain must outwit an enemy he can't outrun.

Captain Marcin Sobieski of the Polonia-Prime Navy commands the PPS Husaria – a relic from a bygone era, a conventional destroyer in a galaxy shadowed by greater powers. His long, isolated patrol on the fringes of colonized space takes a deadly turn when a mysterious defector falls into his hands, carrying a secret that could tip the balance of power in the Hyades Cluster.

Hunted by a technologically superior warship that appears hellbent on recovering its prize, Sobieski is pushed to the brink. Outgunned and cut off from command, he discovers this is no simple chase. It's the opening move in a conspiracy designed to ignite a devastating war, and his aging ship is caught in the crossfire. To save his crew and expose the truth, Sobieski must risk everything on one desperate, unconventional gambit – a strategy so reckless it will either get him court-martialed or forge the legend of the admiral he is destined to become.

The Husaria Gambit is a gripping military sci-fi thriller set before the revolutionary discovery of alien technology, perfect for fans of tense, strategic space combat and classic naval-inspired adventure.
