Humanity is fighting with each other against an implacable foe. The Ghasts-a ruthless alien race-seem hell-bent on wiping out mankind. They possess a huge warfleet and their technology is certainly advancing at an awful rate.

Captain John Nathan Duggan and his team receive a mission-find the missing ESS Crimson and bring it home. Little will Duggan realise, that is no ordinary mission. As he problems against opponents both within and without, he desperately attempts to unlock the mystery surrounding the Crimson’s disappearance and the unknown weapons it bears. He soon discovers the lacking warship might be the only expect salvation that mankind has left.

When everything is veiled in secrecy there is nothing easy, simply because Duggan is about to find out.
