After an epic maiden voyage that introduced Earth to a larger universe—and a cosmos full of terrifying new enemies—Captain Eric Weston and the crew from the NAC spacecraft Odyssey have spent months cooling their heels under their admiral’s watchful eye. However when Globe’s newest ally, the Priminae, hit a defense deal with the UNITED STATES Confederacy, the Odyssey finally receives her purchases: return to Ranquil, the Priminae’s war-ravaged homeworld, and give badly required support about The Heart of Matter against the invading Drasin. Weston and his team are hungry to use it, yet once back again on Ranquil, they realize not all is really as it seems. Yes, the Drasin certainly are a formidable foe, but Weston suspects a powerful unseen force can be waging the war that could alter forever the face of the world. Determined to unmask the strange puppet masters, Weston and his motley crew defy NAC protocol and enterprise into deep space…where they will discover an enemy unlike any they have ever faced. The long-awaited follow-up to the spectacular Into the Dark: Odyssey One combines old-school space opera with modern storytelling to generate an exhilarating fresh sci-fi adventure.
