The Velarans have finally made contact.
Captain Elias Renn and the crew of the Horizon have a chance to end the Velaran war before it consumes both civilizations. But the aliens they encounter are nothing like humanity expected. They seek salvation instead of conquest, unity instead of vengeance, and their vision for peace may be more terrifying than war itself.
While diplomacy hangs by a thread, Magnus operative Cole Brandt disappears into the hands of an unknown faction operating inside the Alliance itself. As he uncovers a conspiracy reaching far beyond the battlefield, he discovers that humanity's greatest enemy may never have been the Velarans at all.
Caught between an alien civilization with an impossible purpose and a hidden enemy determined to reshape the Alliance, the crew of the Horizon must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to prevent the end of everything they know.
Genre: Science Fiction
