Book two. The Endurance is stranded deep in the far pocket and the crew finds out what their first choices actually bought, and who aboard their own hull wasn't quite who they said they were. The story they'd been told about the enemy doesn't survive contact with the truth.
This is the hinge of the trilogy. Command gets asked for a second time, at the worst moment, and the price is the point of the whole thing.
