A galaxy-changing new technology. A new existential threat to all humanity.
George Dane managed to keep his people alive through the worst their colony world threw at them.
Defending their new home against the aggression of the faction devoted to continuing the war they left behind brought them together and strengthened their resolve to leave .
Now Earth has caught up with them.
A ship arrives at Varuna with a faster star-drive than anyone has ever seen.
The ability of the warp engine to jump between stars in hours rather than decades changes everything.
The news the ship brings with it is even worse. The crew report that brain implant technology has resulted in effectively a new species replacing Homo sapiens.
The next level of human development involves complex brain implants that connect the Augmented to a collective consciousness.
The Augmented will do whatever it takes to ensure all of humanity joins them-or dies.
Dane must find a way to defend his people against a powerful and implacable foe who have access to tech more than a century in advance of anything they have on Varuna.
Can he find a way to overcome an enemy willing to alter themselves and everyone else to attain their goal? Or will the Augmented ensure that the last vestiges of free will vanish...forever?
