Awakening

 

He survived the future. Now he must learn how to live in it.

​

William Jackson has come a long way from the ordinary man who disappeared from Earth in 2023.

​

But surviving humanity's distant future and belonging in it are two very different things.

​

Assigned to the Algeron, a powerful GCH warship, Jackson is thrown into the complex world of starship operations. Serving aboard the advanced combat vessel is no easy task, but with Bits helping him, Jackson begins to master his new role—and the tactics, systems, and skills needed to survive in a hostile galaxy.

 

And for the first time since losing everything he knew, Jackson begins building a new life.

 

But the mystery surrounding his arrival in the future hasn't gone away.

​

When Jackson is recruited for a highly classified mission with a black ops team into hostile territory, his secret ability to activate Ancient technology makes him essential to the operation. Their objective is a lost city, buried hundreds of thousands of years ago—and a possible discovery that could transform humanity's understanding of the civilization that once ruled the stars.

​

But all is not as it seems.

​

There, Jackson encounters a mysterious new enemy unlike anything the GCH has faced before—and terrifyingly, they seem to know about him.

​

Jackson returns with more questions than answers—and the disturbing realization that the forces responsible for bringing him to this time haven't given up on finding him.

​

Faced with this new threat, GCH Command makes a decision: Jackson needs to disappear.

​

Reassigned to Search and Rescue, Jackson meets Verris, a gifted former fighter pilot who becomes his partner as they take on some of the most dangerous rescue missions in known space. From hostile worlds and combat zones to disasters where every second means the difference between life and death, Jackson finally discovers something he never expected to find in the future:

​

A place where he belongs.

​

But beyond the frontier, Ancient secrets are stirring, old enemies are preparing for war, and Jackson's unique connection to the past may soon pull him—and everyone he cares about—into something far greater.

​

Legacy: Awakening is the second book in the seven-book Legacy series, continuing William Jackson's journey through starship missions, covert operations, dangerous alien worlds, advanced technology, Ancient mysteries, and the relationships that finally give him something in the future worth fighting for.
