Five mega-civilizations of humanity have risen over the life of the galaxy. Four have fallen.
Earth has been invited to join the fifth-a vast, post-scarcity interstellar civilization of different hominin species who claim to be cousins to Homo sapiens. Now Earth's first global embassy is journeying into the Society to find out if humanity is ready for the stars.
Dr. Nina Rodriguez, the embassy's lead neuroscientist, believes contact is the best thing to ever happen to Earth, until she discovers that Society technology may be affecting human minds in ways no one anticipated. Thousands of light years away, Marcus Greer and the crew of the bio-ship Fulcrum's Light uncover ancient technology from a long-dead civilization threatening a primitive hominin world.
As primordial secret surface, political tensions rise, and a battle for an entire planet breaks out, both Nina and Marcus are forced to reckon with an uncomfortable truth: The Society may not be a utopia, but neither is Earth.
