No Customer Reviews
From the acclaimed author of the best-selling Elite Dangerous and Shadeward novels comes a gripping, fast-paced and fascinating new space opera adventure. Richly imagined, strikingly written, scientifically authentic and featuring an ensemble cast of memorable characters, fans of the genre will be entranced. The legacy of a recent war still haunts humanity's attempts to spread out into the galaxy, its progress thwarted by a mysterious force known only as 'The Enclave'. The Hegemony and the Coalition, vast space-faring factions, vie for supremacy whilst resources diminish, pushing star systems to the brink of war. The promise of a new and rapid interstellar travel technology results in a desperate race across the stars, whilst a crucial peace conference is interrupted by the abduction of the young and beautiful heir to the Empress of the Hegemony. A tramp trader crew gets caught in the crossfire, just trying to turn a profit in a hostile universe.
