The sins of our fathers are not so easily forgotten. Or forgiven. In this cautionary tale from our future's future, karma is on the hunt... and we are its quarry! When the Odyssey Fleet stumbles across ruins on a distant planet, a secret past is awakened; a past that Shiloh Dinah and John Brun worked hard to erase. As the reluctant guardians of the vetiti scientia, forbidden knowledge deliberately forgotten eons ago, they must make a terrible choice. Do they stand and fight against an unbeatable enemy with a mysterious and deep hatred for mankind? Or run, intentionally sacrificing billions so a few might live to carry on? If they stand, the forbidden knowledge that destroyed mankind so long ago will be relearned to temp society into a self-destructive cycle. If they run, their secrets may yet be kept, but it will mean the crushing sacrifices they made were for nothing. Either way, the cost will be unbearably high. Absolution always has a price, and the greater the sin, the greater to cost. Moving between the darkness of space and the beauty of a virgin planet, John and Shiloh struggle to keep the flame of humanity alive. Caught between the demons of their past and the fatal imperfections of mankind, the choices they make will decide the fate of all. Ultimately forced to lead a ragtag group of marines and civilians through an alien landscape, they must make a desperate last stand in a final pitched battle. With everything on the line, hope is their only ally. Hope in themselves, hope in each other, and hope in mankind.
