Summary
On her last
mission, HMS Invincible discovered an alien threat beyond
human understanding: a sentient virus that has already
absorbed a number of intelligent races into its multitude
and now intends to do the same to humanity. Defeat means
the end of everything, the end of existence as nothing more
than mindless host-bodies, the end of humanity and its
alien allies alike. The stakes could not be higher.
As a deeply
divided humanity struggles to prepare a defence, with
enemies inside and outside the human sphere just lurking to
strike, Invincible is sent deep into alien space on what
should have been a simple reconnaissance mission. But, as
Captain Shields and his crew begin their mission, it
rapidly becomes clear that a juggernaut is bearing down on
Earth ...
... And, no
matter what they do, they may never make it home
again.
