Zander Greaves grew up in Compton, California, where violence shaped his will to survive. Determined to forge a better future, he channeled his grit into a career as a military contractor, earning his place in a squad of misfits—and a budding connection with tech specialist Selda Engel. But life rarely follows the plan.
On a routine desert mission, Zander’s team is suddenly hurled to an alien world. Stranded, disoriented, and under siege by towering war machines and swarms of alien creatures, survival demands quick thinking and brutal action. Yet when the dust settles, Zander is the last human standing.
Alone in an unforgiving galaxy, Zander must uncover the secrets of the Antecedents’ Legacy—or risk losing everything, including the fragile hope of finding his way home.
