A
galaxy-changing new technology. A new existential threat to all humanity.

George Dane
managed to keep his people alive through the worst their colony world threw at
them.

Defending their
new home against the aggression of the faction devoted to continuing the war
they left behind brought them together and strengthened their resolve to leave .

Now Earth has
caught up with them.

A ship arrives at Varuna with a faster
star-drive than anyone has ever seen.

The ability of the warp engine to jump
between stars in hours rather than decades changes everything.

The news the
ship brings with it is even worse. The crew report that brain implant
technology has resulted in effectively a new species replacing Homo sapiens.

The next level of human development involves complex brain
implants that connect the Augmented to a collective consciousness.

The Augmented
will
do whatever it takes to ensure all of
humanity joins them—or dies.

Dane must
find a way to defend his people against a powerful and implacable foe who have
access to tech more than a century in advance of anything they have on Varuna.

Can he find a
way to overcome an enemy willing to alter themselves and everyone else to
attain their goal? Or will the Augmented ensure that the last vestiges of free
will vanish...forever?
