The shocking truths revealed by the Emissaries of the Sa'Nerra continue to send tremors through the ranks of the Fleet and United Governments. Then an unprecedented strike at the heart of Fleet's most important front-line command outpost only strengthens the resolve of the War Council to sue for peace. But peace is impossible. Against the Sa'Nerra there is only victory or death. With the Omega Taskforce fractured and its secrets on the verge of being revealed, the resolve of Captain Lucas Sterling remains unbroken. Under the command of Fleet Admiral Griffin, Sterling must take the Invictus deep into the Sa'Nerran half of the Void, in search of the alien super-weapon that goes by the name of Titan. But there is also a new hope. Believed dead for a decade, Sterling must scour the Void for the one scientist who can unravel the mystery of the alien neural control technology. Yet even if Sterling can find him, there are no guarantees this man will help.Alone in the Void and surrounded by the enemy and the remnants of human civilization that the United Governments abandoned to their fates, Sterling has only his advanced ship and talented crew to rely on.Dangers lurk in every star system and at every spaceport. Yet Sterling and his crew are uniquely suited to the mission. Liberated from the shackles of Fleet moralities, Sterling is every bit as cold-hearted and ruthless as the enemies that seek to destroy him.This will be the sternest test of the Omega Taskforce yet. And it is a test that Captain Lucas Sterling does not intend to fail.
