It is centuries after the Fall of the interstellar Tellus League. Most of the former League worlds have descended into darkness and silence, while the remnants of humanity struggle to maintain civilization on the scattered Far Worlds.Nate–a former black ops agent–receives a cryptic message from one of the fallen worlds, leading him to believe that his wife and daughter might still be alive there. He leads an expedition to find them, heading into the very heart of the darkness. Meanwhile, a vast, criminal syndicate may be about to precipitate a second, final Fall. A Dead woman, a onetime monk turned-criminal, and an ancient mech with a faulty memory could be Nate’s only allies in saving humanity from utter destruction–if they can trust one another … and survive long enough.
