A working stargate dating back more than 10,000 years has been discovered in North Dakota, on a Sioux reservation near Devils Lake. Travel through the gate currently leads to three equally mysterious destinations: (1) an apparently empty garden world, quickly dubbed Eden; (2) a strange maze of underground passageways; and (3) a space station with a view of a galaxy that appears to be the Milky Way.

The problem is, we didn't come home alone. No one has ever seen anything like this. What they're calling it sends shivers down my spine: a parasitic alien pathogen. It could be a virus, a toxin, or maybe something even worse. And believe me: what we don't know definitely can hurt us. It's too late for me—I've been exposed. But this has never been about me. It's going to take some incredible risks and another long-shot space mission to get to the bottom of this, but I'll fight until my last breath to undo the damage I've done.

Earth is teeming with alien larvae. That reality has just crashed down on us like a ton of contaminated space rocks. Every time I close my eyes, I still see the huge spider-like monster rising up. I killed that one just in time, but we know that more could hatch at any moment. Even worse... we know that if any of them reach their final form, they'll be indestructible. Now, our only hope of saving Earth from this ticking time-bomb lies on the distant world of Eden. The problem? We have reason to think the natives engineered this stuff. If there was any other route forward, we'd be taking it.

An alien signal. Of all the things I expected to uncover while trying to make sense of the Anomaly, this didn't even enter my mind. But now, the signal has changed my understanding of everything. The Anomaly that's suffocating Earth isn't natural, and decoding this message could be our one shot at saving the planet. The trouble is, we don't even know where to start. What will it take to decipher the alien signal and unlock the secrets of the Anomaly? And how should we reply when we decode their message?

Everything is different than expected. The mystical home of mankind is anything but the warm bosom of their ancestors, and the power is no longer with himanity. Pascal and Jeremy quickly realize that they didn't reach Earth for no reason, and that they are mere pieces on a chessboard. The real players are moving them back into position. The mission? Dangerous. The chances of success? Slim. Will they once again succeed in pulling their heads out of the noose and reshuffling the cards?

It's time. Alexander Moreau, supervisor of Bismarck and head of the Human Corporation, and the mysterious Neuromorph ask for the final game—a game Pascal Takahashi is only too happy to play. But this game no longer follows any rules, and the stakes are higher than ever. In the midst of a dying colony, Jeremy and his crew must join Pascal in finding a way to set the course for humanity's future themselves before others do. For beneath the darkness of the barrier, secrets are stirring, about to rise to the surface.

The Hive Mind has deceived the Americans and the Thacians into believing they had the strategy that would destroy it once and for all…and instead, they opened the gates through to Thacia and, from there, into the United States. And the demons streamed through by the tens of thousands, too many for artillery and air support to drive them back. The Army and Air Force keep pouring on the hurt, but it’s only a matter of time until they’re forced to do the unthinkable…nuke an American city.

The good guys won the battle, but the war goes on. Wash Williams has been recruited to help Brian Reeves and the Delta Force team close gates to the worlds controlled by the Hive-Mind, while back on Thacia, Valon does the same thing from the other side. But new gates continue to open, and unless someone can figure out how to stop the effect, it will keep spreading and the war will never end.
