This series is set in the 23rd century and revolves around the interaction of humans with aliens in interstellar space. This series begins by mentioning that Earth has been receiving mysterious transmissions of data from different deep space locations for the past 50 years. After studying the nature of the transmissions, it is found that they are coming from an advanced form of technology. If humans get hold of this advanced technology, then they will be able to travel faster than light overnight. Subsequently, the first team of researchers and scientists are sent to interstellar space in a starship to bring back more information. However, they don’t have any information about alien benefactors. Even their motivations behind sending the transmissions to Earth still remain unexplained.

It was released in 2015 as a Paperback edition. The book’s plot takes place in the year 2277. It is seen that Captain Tom Prescott carries the first team of scientists and researchers to space on the first starship of the Terra Fleet Command, TFS Ingenuity. After cruising for several days, they come across a first contact condition. The team learns that there are other planets that have been granted civilization and access to stars before Earth. It is also found that the Faustian gift has caused interstellar wars for centuries. As it is learned that the existence of humanity hangs in the balance due to the upcoming military strike at the hands of the technologically advanced alien forces, all the hopes of saving Earth and humanity lie in the hands of Ingenuity and Captain Prescott’s unarmed crew in space.

The second volume of the series is known as ‘TFS Theseus’. It was self-published by Harris in 2016.

Following the approach for the alliance, humans are left to decide whether they want to join the powerful alliance or chart their own course. If the latter is decided, then they have to decide which civilizations are worthy enough to be trusted. As Earth decides to become the first world that declined the invitation of the Pelarans, it prepares to defend itself from a deadly attack as the Pelarans have the reputation of destroying the planet that rejects their offer. Admiral Kevin Patterson gathers a team of his formidable men on board the flagship of the Terran Fleet, TFS Navajo. He hopes to defend the Earth from the outside forces. It is very well known that the attack is going to take place at any moment. So, Kevin Patterson decides to steer TFS Navajo in search of the enemy and take the first initiative.

On the other hand, Tom Prescott returns from his first TFC battle and finds that his starship has been heavily damaged. He thinks of carrying out the repair work as soon as possible and join Admiral Patterson in his effort to save the Earth. This new mission is not just to defend Earth from the powerful Pelaran forces, but also to prevent a large-scale interstellar war.
