Summary
The first book in the epic saga of
humankind's war of transcendence There is a milestone in the
evolution of every sentient race, a Tech Singularity Event,
when the species achieves transcendence through its
technological advances. Now the creatures known as humans are
near this momentous turning point. But an armed threat is
approaching from deepest space, determined to prevent humankind
from crossing over that boundary—by total annihilation if
necessary. To the Sh'daar, the driving technologies of
transcendent change are anathema and must be obliterated from
the universe—along with those who would employ them. As
their great warships destroy everything in their path en route
to the Sol system, the human Confederation government falls
into dangerous disarray. There is but one hope, and it rests
with a rogue Navy Admiral, commander of the kilometer-long star
carrier America, as he leads his courageous fighters deep into
enemy space towards humankind's greatest conflict—and
quite possibly its last.
