Synopsis
Book Two of Humanity’s Leap . After the shocking discoveries in Beta Leonis, Galactic Planetary Resources doubles down on its mission. Despite most of its executive leadership being arrested by Hegemony State Security, the crew of Audacious , along with their scientists and the government’s own Marines, press on to uncover more pieces of the puzzle. “Each answer we get comes with two more questions.” Now embattled with a hostile artificial intelligence that rivals CAIPARR—and is unburdened by any ethical restraint—their mission of exploration becomes a desperate fight for survival. Enemies on the home front and in newly discovered star systems reveal both the best and worst of humanity. Action-packed combat, thought-provoking questions, and unforgettable characters leave us wondering what choices we would make if everything we believed turned out to be a lie. A gripping science fiction tale of ambition, discovery, and the price of unlocking the unknown.
