More than a century ago, Earth’s great nations waged the Last War, a nuclear battle that resulted in the deaths of billions, the reduction of whole continents to radioactive ash. While humanity slowly repaired the damage, rebuilt their world, a few scattered survivors fled to the stars, far beyond the limits of explored space, seeking new worlds upon which they could build new civilizations, new societies, each believing themselves to be the last enclave of mankind in a lonely, desolate universe. Some, most, failed. A few survived, and now, after generations, the Terran Commonwealth is at long last reaching out to the Lost Colonies, seeking to rebuild the bonds that should never have been broken.

Flight Commander Carter Maxwell, commanding the crew of the Scoutship Eudoxus, is pioneering the way back to these lost outposts of humanity, but his mission is not one of peace, but of war, for the Commonwealth’s implacable enemy, the remorseless Celestial Ascendancy, is also on the hunt for the Lost Colonies, their purpose to force them into servitude and slavery, to forge their own savage empire among the cold, merciless stars, unless Maxwell and his renegade, rag-tag crew can stop them. In this race to the farthest stars, the only prize for second place is death
