Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that.

Humans expanded into space...only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe.

The people of Earth now know that the human Colonial Union has kept them ignorant of the dangerous universe around them.

For a shaken and betrayed Earth, the choice isn't obvious or easy.

It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.
