Aces up your sleeve

After a devastating space battle, Captain Gnat is trapped in an unknown galaxy with a heavily damaged ship and a crew that relies solely on him.
But the galaxy they've arrived in isn't empty. Powerful civilisations, hidden alliances, and a looming interstellar war will turn their fight for survival into a much larger game—both real and virtual.
Gnat suddenly finds himself in the middle of a dangerous diplomatic game where every wrong move could mean disaster—not just for his crew, but for all of humanity.
And in this game, there is only one rule: only those who can think several moves ahead will win.
