Synopsis
Book Three of Humanity’s Leap . The node is now unlocked, and Irina Orlova has vanished. With the failed coup on Hegemony put down and Audacious three star systems away, Earth must now come together in order to look beyond its solar system to the greater galaxy. Captain Rohit Mishra, together with Staff Sergeant Dixon and Second Squad, accompany their new allies, the Lomolai, in a mission to find out what happened to Orlova. When they learn where she's gone, it strains credulity. What happens when a subset of Earth's population from times of antiquity is removed from our past, placed in a new star system, given advanced technology and allowed to develop on its own for thousands of years? Species One created project worlds for this purpose, but humans on Earth never conceived that they were the ones late to the party, and that humanity had already taken root elsewhere. Now, equipped with advanced tech from the Workshop and a sentient artificial consciousness, the historical past collides with a future no one could have imagined.
