    How far would you go to save the one person you can’t afford to lose? 
Captain Gibson lost everything in a single devastating moment. His career. His reputation. His daughter. Now, when a shadowy enemy strikes from the darkness, he’s offered one impossible shot at redemption—find who took her, and stop a war before it begins. 
Once a decorated United Alliance officer, Gibson is forced into an uneasy alliance with the Poruk Empire—his oldest rivals. As he navigates treacherous space and even more dangerous politics, old grudges clash with desperate hope. Together, they uncover evidence of a new enemy—one powerful enough to bring two warring civilizations to their knees. 
In the farthest reaches of the galaxy, where secrets fester and loyalties fracture, Gibson will risk everything to find the truth. But the deeper he digs, the more he wonders: is this alliance their only hope—or part of a much larger trap? 
Unseen Enemy is the explosive first book in the Prionen Directive series—a gripping sci-fi saga of war, betrayal, and one father’s relentless fight to bring his daughter home.

Then, during the quiet of a winter's eve, the flickering shadows show more than they should and sometimes sounds far darker than prayers float up from between the pews...
