Journey into the dark
They were mysterious and ancient people. A people many believed were nothing more than myth. Powerful in a way even the Confederation could not understand. They appeared in the histories of many civilisations. The earliest perhaps a million years ago. Sometimes they rescued a doomed civilisation from extinction. Sometimes they saved a lone traveller, far beyond any hope of rescue. They always disappeared again. Leaving no evidence they had ever existed.They were called the Suziemakaar. Those who come together. No one knew what that meant. No one knew where their home world was, or even if they had one. They were little more than an enduring enigma.
The one monument to their ingenuity was the Ziggurat. A mountain of a structure containing a wormhole entrance. A wormhole Eli Massen's greatest enemy had fled through. After centuries of exhaustive labour he has rebuilt it, determining where the other entrance was. Today, he is ready to send someone in pursuit. Their mission: kill Jane.
That mission falls to Isia Marla. Captain of the CSS Cesa, a vessel lost with all hands. She has nothing to lose, and only redemption to gain.
No one is expecting her return.
Those Who Come Together is part of the Confederation Cycle, and follows on directly from the events of Unleashed.
