The stirring finale of The Fractal series which began with the much lauded Fearless and Resilient hard-sf masterpieces.
The third and final installment in The Fractal Series, following Fearless and Resilient.
A war in the depths of space to determine the future of humanity, Vigilance concludes the journey of Captain Ellisa Shann.
“Stroud raises fascinating questions about the politics of space exploration.”– Publisher’s Weekly
In the aftermath of Phobos Station’s destruction, sinister forces fight to control humanity’s fragile first steps in colonizing other worlds. There are competing agendas at work. Some seek to overthrow the Corporations and Governments, others just want to see everything burn.
In the midst of it all, Captain Ellisa Shann and her crew are fighting to survive and to unlock the secrets of a mysterious and ancient alien ship.
Vigilance is the conclusion to the epic science fiction story that began with Fearless and continued with Resilient. What new revelations await in the ongoing Fractal Series?

“Space battles, sabotage, and treachery envelop a gripping whodunit, as Captain Ellisa Shann strives to identify a murderer among her crew and save her ship, the Khidr, from imminent destruction. Fearless is a fabulous read from a writer who knows how to deliver.” (On the Fractal Series) -- Ian Whates, Author of Dark Angels Rising and 2019 Winner of the Karl Edward Wagner Award
“Fearless is a brilliant achievement, and one of the best science-fiction novels I have read in a very long time." (On the Fractal Series)
"The depths of outer space test the strength of a dynamic heroine’s inner resolve in Stroud’s smart, introspective space opera set in the year 2118. [...] With an attention to detail that will please hard science fiction fans, Stroud raises fascinating questions about the politics of space exploration. This is one to be savored."
Rigorous hard SF with a powerful but flawed protagonist and a fascinating historical background, 'Fearless' is a treat for just about any Analog reader." (On the Fractal Series) -- Analog Science Fiction & Fact
“A wonderful, modern, inclusive and clever science fiction that deserves to be a part of anyone’s collection.” (On the Fractal Series) -- SF Book
"[Allen Stroud] also brings a Clarkian feel that grounds the story in the best tradition of science fiction. He keeps the action going, and does a fine job of showing the difficulties of conflict in space. Highly Recommended.” (On the Fractal Series)
