Science Fiction Adventure War Space Opera

The Senate is in chaos. The Republic is falling from within, a corrupted shell around a rotted core. Abhorrent espers control humans like pawns. The Republic Navy is in open rebellion. The Tyche rides solar wind, seeking allies. If they don’t find them, humanity will fall. An ancient transmission is discovered from beyond the charted edge of the hard black. It is not Ezeroc, who need no technology to communicate. Grace Gushiken and Nathan Chevell take the free trader Tyche on a desperate mission. Find the source of the signal, and with it, hope.

Grace Gushiken is a grifter and a liar. Worse, she's an esper, an abhorrent creation of the Old Empire, on the run from the Republic's justice. Nathan Chevell captains the free trader Tyche. He's no pirate, but he's no white knight either. There’s no business in helping strays. Thrown together on a mission to the edge of space, they find the doomed planet Absalom Delta deserted, its people enslaved by the insect-like Ezeroc. The aliens have descended like locusts on humanity, consuming all in their path. No one is safe. Even the Republic Navy is powerless against them.

After the encounter with the merciless Ezeroc on Absalom Delta, Grace Gushiken and Nathan Chevell make a run for home. They have a new mission: to warn humanity. Aliens are real. And they are already among us. The crew of the free trader Tyche are hunted by men in black, fearsome fighters who share the Ezeroc’s powers. When the Tyche lands on Earth the ship’s placed on lockdown. Her crew are scattered and on the run. Without their ship or friends, Grace and Nate have no escape.
