Two decades after the Hydrogue War, peace in the Spiral Arm is fragile, profit-driven, and short-sighted.
The Roamers harvest volatile stardrive fuel in the clouds of gas giants. Theroc’s green priests whisper through a telepathic forest. And the Ildiran Empire, once galactic rulers, watches their influence slip away.
But when explorers push beyond the known stars, they find something worse than war. A dark nebula, vast and hungry, begins to spread, devouring light, swallowing planets, and erasing history itself.
Old alliances fracture as fear spreads faster than fleets. Human ambition and alien arrogance are no match for an enemy that predates them all.
Kevin J. Anderson returns to the Saga of Seven Suns universe with an epic of cosmic dread, political intrigue, and a galaxy facing extinction.
