“A brand-new series that promises to be just like engrossing [as Frontlines]…the action just like exciting, the science just as solid, the strain just as high. I gulped down the first reserve in a day, and I am currently eager for another one.” —George R. R. Martin

Across the six-planet expanse of the Gaia system, the Earthlike Gretia struggles to stabilize in the wake of an interplanetary war. Amid an uneasy alliance to keep economies, resources, and populations, Aden Robertson reemerges. After about Aftershocks devoting twelve years of his existence to the reviled dropping side, with the blood of half of a million casualties on his hands, Aden is looking for a way to proceed. He’s not the only person.

A naval official has borne witness to inconceivable attacks on a salvaged fleet. A sergeant using the occupation forces is treading increasingly hostile surface. And a woman, thrust into responsibility as vice president of her family’s recycleables empire, encounters a threat she under no circumstances anticipated.

Now, over the cusp of an explosive and wide-reaching insurrection, Aden plunges once again into the brutal lifestyle he longed to forget. He’s been on the incorrect side of battle before. But this time around, the new enemy has yet to uncover themselves…or their harmful endgame.
