Annihilation (Star Force Series)
“Kwon stood around in the background. Everyone tried to ignore his battle-ready stance.
Miklos was there, and he tapped at something as I arrived. I looked around, and Captain Sarin showed up a minute or so later. She’d probably been getting some well-deserved rest. If I’d been in a better mood, I would have smiled. The Commodore had called in reinforcements.
“You’re right in your assessment,” I told him.

“You’ve judged that I’m not in a reasonable mood. You’re correct in that regard.”
Miklos looked at me seriously. He didn’t ask what I was talking about, because we both knew the score. “What are your intentions, Colonel?”
“Here are my orders: I’m leaving you in command of the system defense here at the battle station—not that I expect anything serious will happen. I’m taking Sarin and the fastest cruiser we have on hand to fly after Kerr.”
“There is no mathematical possibility that you will reach him, sir,” Miklos said patiently.
