Dark Matter (Star Carrier, book 5)
“In a sudden, flaring storm of photons, the star carrier America dropped from the emptiness of Alcubierre metaspace and into the reality of stars and worlds and radiant light.

As Gray watched from America’s Flag Bridge, other ships dropped out of Alcubierre Drive moment by passing moment: the Russian Slava and Plamennyy, the North Indian Shiva and her escort Ranvir, the USNA heavy cruisers Calgary and Maine. The domed overhead of the flag bridge had been set to display the surrounding sky, with incoming ships picked out as green icons.MoreLess
