The enemy has shown its true face.
Now, the battle rages on two fronts.
But the true enemy still lies in the shadows.
Humanity reels in the face of a new alien threat. False information spews from the podium of a leader bent on power and conquest.
Daniel Hunt finds himself on the run from the very people he had vowed to protect. The corrupted, new Vice-Chancellor wants him dead and will stop at nothing to see the job done. Even if it means contracting assassin syndicates from the Moon and beyond.
Now more than ever, Daniel has to rely on those he calls family. With the new alien threat, known only as the Darkening in front of him and the Galactic Government's Battle Bots chasing close behind, he must pull out all the stops.
