The second book in a trilogy Distant Worlds.
The year is 2261. Captain Katharine Trig and her crew on Magellan discovered an ancient alien base hidden beneath the surface of Dysnomia, they expect a significant scientific breakthrough. That should be enough to last for a lifetime, but that was just a start.
Deep within the mysterious alien structure lies an immense cavern housing an entire fleet of advanced warships, technology centuries beyond Earth's capabilities.
They are understaffed, short on time, and sitting on possibly the biggest discovery in human history, and that is not the end of their troubles.
Earth's political powers immediately begin fighting for control of this unprecedented discovery. Now, the crew must balance their scientific mission with mounting pressure from home, all while deciphering the cryptic legacy left by the ancient alien civilization and its last guardian.
An enormous underground hangar holds vessels of extraordinary power, offering humanity either salvation or destruction. With tension rising on Dysnomia and back on Earth, the crew pushes deeper into alien mysteries.
But will humanity be ready for the responsibility this power brings?
Border Base is a gripping tale of exploration, political intrigue, and the ultimate question of whether we can overcome our destructive tendencies when faced with unprecedented power.
