A gamble too far in his efforts to bring the fractured Human Federation back together sees him imprisoned alone on a remote world.
It’s hard to keep a good man down. Having experienced the most terrifying encounter of his life, Grisham soon finds himself embroiled in a new mission. He’s given a task at which even the mighty Kijol 10th Sector Fleet has failed - and Grisham commands just one warship.
The horrors of the Ax’Kol dark sphere are just the start of a long road. Grisham and his crew will be drawn into a chain of events that will either pave the way to peace, or bring humanity and the Kijol once more into a war that neither side wants.
It's a good job Grisham doesn't know when to quit.
Darkness on Sagitol is the fourth book in the Guns of the Federation series by Anthony James and follows the events in Voltran Unchained. Expect plenty of action, exciting tech, space combat, bad aliens, even badder aliens, and much more.

About the author

Anthony James spent his youth reading what might now be called classic sci-fi and fantasy books. These days, he spends time in his study with the door locked against rampant and ferocious toddlers, writing books of his own.
That’s the third person stuff out of the way.
For anyone who’s read any of my books, you’ll know that I write action science fiction that pulls no punches and which doesn’t cram the good stuff into the last couple of chapters. The action starts early and it doesn’t let up. I also take care to mix in plenty of humanity. The characters I write are all distinctly believable, often facing uncaring enemies and overwhelming odds. When they win, it’s because they did their best.
Go on. Punch an alien today. Better yet, check out my series of books, each one filled with action, technology, warfare, aliens and against-the-odds survival. Lots of kick-back-and-enjoy weekend and evening reading.

The special feature of the Voltran, is not that each space battle consists of its ability to fire missiles at a staggering rate (hundreds per shoot out), the seemingly bottomless pit of an arsenal but the growing psychic ability of our hero to gee up the souls of the dead kijol, that power the ship, to fling psychic energy/weapons at the opposing forces. Forget lasers, fasors, phasers, dazers, plasma cannons, plasma torpedoes, nuclear missiles, fusion bombs, anti-matter artillery and all the other weapons we are used to and try to absorb the Psion WITHER, SLOW or BOREDOM (actually, I made that last one up, but I felt it emanating from this book). So many thousands of missiles are somehow psychically SLOWED in flight that they fail to reach their fast moving targets that space must be filled with millions of unexploded ordnance just waiting for a vessel to accidentally emerge from light speed travel into their midst.
Once again our captain (don't think captain of a naval vessel, but captain of a bomber with a just a few crew members) makes decisions like a planes pilot and thinks nothing of the soldiers condemned to sit quietly out back while the Voltran flits from one galaxy to another engaging enemy craft in ever increasingly dangerous situations. We never know if the soldiers even know they are involved in battles as they are never mentioned outside of short actions, occasional body guarding and hogging the coffee replicator in the 'mess room'. Grisham ignores them to the point that on re-supply he doesn't even get some basic furniture for them to sit on while they wait for days at a time for something to happen. Personally, as a civil war is about to occur, I'd be keen to keep the soldiers on side and not alienate them by pure arrogance and neglect. Perhaps before undertaking another dangerous mission NOT sanctioned by the military command they normally report to, Grisham should check to see if the soldiers would prefer to be dropped off somewhere first. That's better than having men with guns who don't like you on board.
I think I'm done with this series now. My head has suffered a Psion WITHER too many.
This still feels a mish mash of earlier books and it’s not a bad thing.
Next one please!
