On a summer night like any other, an emergency call sounds in the quarters of Andira Tal, Lancer of Alsea. The news is shocking: not only is there other intelligent life in the universe, but it’s landing on the planet right now. Tal leads the first responding team and ends up rescuing aliens who have a frightening story to tell. They protected Alsea from a terrible fate—but the reprieve is only temporary. Captain Ekatya Serrado of the Fleet ship Caphenon serves the Protectorate, a confederation of worlds with a common political philosophy. She has just sacrificed her ship to save Alsea, yet political maneuvering may mean she did it all for nothing. Alsea is now a prize to be bought and sold by galactic forces far more powerful than a tiny backwater planet. But Lancer Tal is not one to accept a fate imposed by aliens, and she’ll do whatever it takes to save her world.

Review "The Caphenon excels with meticulous and believable world-building, and combines it with a touch of space opera replete with epic fights for survival." -Curve MagazineThe tale DeLancey weaves in this book is astoundingly fascinating. Not only does she stitch together a completely original universe equipped with detailed histories and lore for each of its inhabitants, but her deeply creative plot gripped me to the core. -The Rainbow Hub

An intricately plotted saga that makes for compulsive reading By Lisa Shaw This might be Fletcher DeLancey’s debut novel, but she is certainly no stranger to the art of the epic. Having honed her narrative talents to a fine edge on the five-book Past Imperfect series, she has now left the path of Star Trek fan fiction and gone boldly forth into a world entirely of her own creation in the Chronicles of Alsea.For thousands of generations, Alseans have looked up at the sky and wondered whether they were alone in the universe. The answer comes crashing to the ground one night in the form of the Gaian starship Caphenon, which brings with it a small cadre of humans who have been watching their planet for cycles and are eager to make friends. But right behind the Caphenon comes the first wave of a malevolent invading force that has also been watching—and it is ruthless, implacable, and ferociously armed. The only hope of saving Alsea from imminent annihilation is an alliance with the Gaians, and neither side is certain the other can be trusted.While the Gaians have mastered the technology of traveling through outer space, the Alseans have mastered the techniques of traveling through the inner space of the heart and the mind. This unique gift not only makes them a target but also may prove to be their only weapon against the invading aliens who seek to enslave them all. The Alsean leader, Lancer Andira Tal, will do anything she has to do to save her people and her world, including betray her new friends if it comes to that. The Caphenon’s Captain Ekatya Serrado, stranded with her broken ship and manipulated by distant political forces beyond her control, is forced to choose between following her orders and following her heart, knowing that either choice will bring unendurable losses. When everything they value most is threatened, these two powerful women are pushed to the limits of their honor, their integrity and their courage.DeLancey is a confident, capable story teller who knows exactly where this intricately plotted saga is going at every single step. Her characters, like her stories, are complex and richly drawn, and she is adept at providing exposition in carefully measured doses with surprising twists that make for almost compulsive reading. Her crisp, streamlined writing style moves the action along smoothly, and she is as careful with the details of Alsea’s religion, history, biology and chronology as she is with the science of space travel and physics, the violent ballet of physical combat, and the delicate byways of human emotions and relationships. Her main characters—many of whom are women of title and rank—are powerful, confident leaders who may be hard-nosed and occasionally hard-headed, but are almost never hard-hearted. Their intelligence, integrity, and loyalty to both their ideals and their loved ones make them easy to admire and impossible to forget.You don’t have to be a sci-fi fan to appreciate this story, which offers combat action, danger, romance, humor, political intrigue and vivid world building that will make you want to return to Alsea again and again.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Buy it...read it...love it... By Mel R From the first page, this long awaited 'prequel' to Fletcher DeLancey's stories of Alsea had me gripped. Fletcher has a wonderful way of inveigling her characters into your heart and mind almost without you noticing. You become invested in them and the events that shape them, both past and present. This novel and its subsequent sisters do not have, and will not have, as a prerequisite, any allegiances to a particular genre...eg, LGBT, SciFi, or fantasy. The Chronicles of Alsea stand firmly on the content of its characters and plot lines. The creation of the World of Alsea; it's culture, history, traditions and even its way of telling time, are cleverly woven and feel utterly believable from the start. Also within its plot lines are issues concerning moral and ethical decisions, explored, made and justified .Psychology is one of Fletcher's great strengths and in this story, the reader is asked to stand in the shoes of those facing huge crises of faith and morality...and so not being able to judge on face value.....I do not, as a reviewer, ever reveal plots or include any spoilers...much as I would like to laud and honour the great and good in this story...So I simply say...in short...buy it...read it...love it...and wait for the next part impatiently!!!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. For Fahla and Alsea! By KellyRob I am a huge fan of Ms DeLancey's work. I have read and reread her Star Trek Voyager and Chronicles of Alsea internet versions so many times that I almost have them memorized. Having said that, I'm going to admit, with great shame, that I almost quit halfway through this book. The basic story was fine, magnificent. But these were not my beloved Captain, anthropologist and Lancer. I was absolutely furious. I was honestly heartbroken. I still am a little bit. But, that's the mark of a an extraoridinary author. No, a storyteller. Ms. DeLancey showed me that I, too, am sonsales and artfully showed me the beauty of this familiar yet enirely new incarnation of world of Alsea by peeling back the superficial layers and diving into the literal heart of the matter. Very, very well done. I'll be rereading this one many times. Once I took off my mental blocks with regard to the characters, I laughed, I cried, I got anxious and I shouted at my screen when things got really tense. That's what makes an author a storyteller. And Ms. DeLancey is a storyteller. Anyone who has even a small interest in science fiction will love this book. Even if you don't have any interest in science fiction, read this book. It is extremely well written and will take you on the journey of a lifetime: heart, mind and body. Thank you, Ms. DeLancey.
