SpecOps Agent Sebastian Thorsson is an agent no longer. The prestigious tech and xenoarchaeology organisation demands new recruits make discoveries of scientific merit to earn their place. Unfortunately for Sebastian, it has come to light he has made no such discovery.

An acceleration node repair mission seems like the perfect opportunity for him and Aryx to perform groundbreaking research and restore their freedoms, until an ambush spells disaster for the pair.

When their friends combine forces to help, they inadvertently trigger a chain of events that threaten to expose everything they strive to protect, and unleash a legendary enemy against a planet they cannot defend.
