It’s always darkest before the dawn. Jack Bishop and the crew of the Adeona have left the Milky Way in search of the mysterious extroplanet known only as XO-R15. But their journey through the Stellar Abyss takes a toll.

The highly-anticipated fourth installment in the Kapamentis Crime series, from bestselling science-fiction author T.W.M. Ashford.

The Earth is a husk, humanity is long extinct, and Charon has used his stolen Solar Core to harvest Proxima Delta’s star, dooming its populated system. The crew of the Adeona are divided—Jack thinks they should keep fighting, but Rogan and Brackitt just want to lay Tuner to rest....

Jack Bishop is desperate to get back to Earth. When a Krettelian slave sneaks aboard their ship and promises Jack a way home in exchange for her people’s freedom, he jumps at the offer…even if it means betraying one of the most powerful races in the galaxy....

Jack Bishop needs a pair of tickets aboard one of the Arks - colossal lifeboats destined to shepherd humanity to the stars. Desperate to save his wife, he signs up for a dangerous wormhole experiment....

Street gangs. Glamour models. Console jockeys. With tensions between mankind and the other species of the Ministerium at an all-time high, the human citizens of Kapamentis will take whatever cybernetic advantage they can get.

The galactic community is on the verge of collapse, and nobody except the crew of the Adeona seems to question why.

Thaddeus Cutter's life is on the mend and his detective business is growing. When a woman shows up at his door asking him to investigate her abusive husband and his shady business partner, Thaddeus assumes he's got an easy case on his hands.

Meet Thaddeus Cutter. He's a two-bit private detective struggling to get by on Kapamentis – a high-tech alien metropolis whose citizens consider humans little more than vermin. There's no sun, it rains all the time, and business is so bad he can't even afford the rent.

Jack Bishop has been in self-imposed exile ever since the failed colonisation of New Eden. But when galactic chaos threatens the automata’s chances of ever being treated like equals, Jack has no choice but to follow the crew of the Adeona back into danger again.

Jack Bishop is a long way from home. With no way back to the Earth he once knew, Jack considers himself alone in the galaxy… that is, until he receives a distress call from his old Ark ship, the Final Dawn.
