Star Carrier (Lost Colonies Trilogy book 3)
“The enemy crews weren’t able to capitalize on their ability to take more G-forces in this environment. Just as we’d done, they’d detected the gas and suspected there might be more substantial particulate matter in this pocket of hyperspace. If that was true, flying too fast could overwhelm their shields and destroy their ships.
Since Defiant had been moving faster than they were when we’d entered hyperspace, we kept gaining slightly as we all accelerated to a maximal safe speed. At that point, we coasted ahead of them.
The only problem with my strategy was finding a way out. If we ran out of hyperspace before we found the exit, we would be in trouble. We’d either have to turn and fight, or we’d ram into the theoretical wall of this universe. Either way, we’d be destroyed.
The Beta ships followed doggedly for sixteen more hours before our missiles reached them. I’d ordered Durris to program them to go fairly slowly so as to maximize the suspense.
