A Memory of Violence (Voyages of the Battlecruiser Methuselah Book 1)

World peace ain't all it's cracked up to be...

A thirst for lasting, worldwide peace incites world leaders to exile the most violent members of society into space. 300 years pass, and mankind has made great strides in technology. War on Earth is unknown, and even conflict between individuals becomes rare. Mankind has outgrown its need for violence, and the people of Earth have entered into a new, enlightened age. A renaissance with no need for guns or war.

What the Earthlings couldn't have anticipated was that they might someday encounter a threat from beyond their world. When a major city is devastated by an alien force from the galaxy's edge, the planet's population finds itself at the mercy of a new and insidious foe.

The Earthlings have only one hope, and it lies with the star-flung descendents of those exiled to cold space centuries prior...

When Earth comes calling, only one man heeds the call.

His name is Faust, and his command is the Battlecruiser Methuselah.
