Synopsis
The day of reckoning has arrived for the civilizations involved in the difficult and precarious galactic equilibrium. While the government of the United States of America is engaged in covering up the return of the Nexus, the Kadaja emperor is setting up a network of wormholes to start out on his definitive victory. The Great Alliance has the creation of futuristic spaceships in store, but what is heralded as the greatest battle in history will be shaped by totally unexpected combatants and weapons.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

A mysterious terrorist organisation has carried out several attacks against the Federation and Klingon Empire. Tensions are running high in a region already crippled by conflict. The perpetrators are tracked to the Lembatta Cluster, a mysterious region of space whose inhabitants, the Renao, regard the Alpha Quadrant s powers as little more than conquering tyrants. The Federation are desperate to prevent more bloodshed, and have sent their most powerful warship, the USS Prometheus, into the Cluster to investigate the threat before all-consuming war breaks out.
