Hudson Powell war schon immer ein Herumtreiber, aber nach dem Tod seines Vaters schwor er sich, sein Leben zu ändern. Er gab seine freiberufliche Tätigkeit als Raumschiffpilot auf und trat im Alter von 38 Jahren als Rookie der Relic Guardian Force bei. Das war ein großer Fehler. Die RGF bewacht die außerirdischen Wracks, die auf jeder Portalwelt gefunden wurden, die im letzten Jahrhundert entdeckt wurde.

Als Finn Brasa in einen tödlichen Gladiatorenkampf gegen High-Tech-Attentäter und intelligente Roboter geworfen wird, geschieht das alles nur zur Unterhaltung der Massen. Niemand rechnete damit, dass er überleben würde – am allerwenigsten Finn selbst. Seine Belohnung? Status und Reichtum. Aber wonach Finn wirklich hungert, ist Revolution. Das einfache Volk sehnt sich verzweifelt nach einem Anführer, der sich erhebt und das rücksichtslose Imperium herausfordert, das die Menschheit seit Jahrhunderten unterjocht.

Nach vier Jahren des Friedens erreicht das Gerücht von einem neuen Anführer der Aternier die Union der Neun: ein dunkler Gott, der aus der Asche der Niederlage geschmiedet wurde.

Carter Rose wusste immer, dass dieser Tag kommen würde.

Die einzige Hoffnung der Menschheit ist der Kommandant, den sie verschmäht hat. Einst war Hauptkommandant Carter Rose die Geheimwaffe der Union. Als biotechnisch verbesserter Offizier, der das Kommando über das mächtigste Kriegsschiff hatte, das je von Menschen erdacht wurde, führte Rose die Union zum Sieg gegen das posthumane Aternien-Imperium. Dann ließen sie ihn im Stich.

With Morphus still absent on her mysterious expedition, a surprise request from an old ally sets the star scavengers on a path to developing a new weapon against Goliath. And it sees them doing what they do best–hunting for crystals of power inside alien wrecks.

With both Morphus and Goliath travelling the galaxy, each looking for a way to defeat the other, the star scavengers, Hudson Powell and Tory Bellona, find themselves alone and fighting for their lives. Still licking their wounds after the events on Caccini Two, they are left with no time to recover before the Council arrive to repay Hudson and Tory for the trouble they’ve caused. On the run, with bounties on their heads both from the crime consortium and the Children of Goliath, led by Hudson’s long-time adversary, Logan Griff, they are forced to hide out inside the Revocaters.

Despite their best efforts to subdue Goliath, the superpowered alien AI continues to grow stronger and more lethal. Billions already lie dead across the galaxy as the entity works its way toward Earth, and the Star Scavengers are losing faith. All of their hopes now lie in finding another artificial entity–one that fought and defeated Goliath long before humanity was born.

All pretenses of diplomacy have crumbled, and Concord is no longer considered neutral territory. The Imperator is coming, and he intends to reduce the station to dust, forcing Commander Reeves to order an emergency evacuation. But old enemies linger on in the background. Not only must Reeves contend with the Sa’Nerra, but a final showdown with the Lord of Night appears inevitable, and the crime kingpin will stop at nothing to get his revenge. Meanwhile, the Sa’Nerra have invaded Bastion Federation space with thousands of warships and near-unlimited reserves.
