Books Descriptions
Robust, peaceful, and confident, the Commonwealth dispatched a
ship to investigate the mystery of a disappearing star, only to
inadvertently unleash a predatory alien species that turned on
its liberators, striking hard, fast, and utterly without mercy.
The Prime are the Commonwealth's worst nightmare. Coexistence
is impossible with the technologically advanced aliens, who are
genetically hardwired to exterminate all other forms of life.
Twenty-three planets have already fallen to the invaders, with
casualties in the hundreds of millions. And no one knows when
or where the genocidal Prime will strike next. Nor are the
Prime the only threat. For more than a hundred years, a shadowy
cult, the Guardians of Selfhood, has warned that an alien with
mind-control abilities impossible to detect or resist -- the
Starflyer -- has secretly infiltrated the Commonwealth. Branded
as terrorists, the Guardians and their leader, Bradley
Johansson, have been hunted by relentless investigator Paula
Myo.
