From the Stars, Reaps the Soul Collector.
If your enemy attempted to steal a time device, would you sacrifice yourself to stop them?
Draethus is a Soldier of the Void, destined to die. Sacrificing his life could save millions from the Heridian menace, a bio-robotic race of flesh and steel. He's thrust into a path not of his choosing, but someone or something is pulling on fateful threads. Uneasy friendships form with once captors, people from a past long forgotten. Their enemy pursue a device capable of shifting their armies into other space-times. If able to draw upon an unlimited supply of resource, 'the Rids' will be unstoppable.
That resource is the living minds of all sentient life.
When an ancient star vessel appears with the same time-shifting ability, the enemy pivot their attention.
Draethus and his crew hunt the enemy through a tear in the sky, and discover the conflict far larger. After rescuing a stricken space pirate vessel, their leader, Xain Raeson, proposes a plan that could alter the war. A drastic attack on the Heridian home-world.
But to do so risks their enemy capturing the star vessel they need to release their masters.
In the dark corners of both men's consciousness, the star vessel infiltrates. But something else otherworldly manipulates also...
