Every advanced society in the galaxy relies on the technology of the Protheans, an ancient species that vanished fifty thousand years ago. After discovering a cache of Prothean technology on Mars in 2148, humanity is spreading to the stars; the newest interstellar species, struggling to carve out its place in the greater galactic community.
On the edge of colonized space, ship commander and Alliance war hero David
Anderson investigates the remains of a top secret military research station;
smoking ruins littered with bodies and unanswered questions. Who attacked this
post and for what purpose? And where is Kahlee Sanders, the young scientist who
mysteriously vanished from the base–hours before her colleagues were
slaughtered?
Sanders is now the prime suspect, but finding her creates more problems for
Anderson than it solves. Partnered with a rogue alien agent he can’t trust and
pursued by an assassin he can’t escape, Anderson battles impossible odds on
uncharted worlds to uncover a sinister conspiracy . . . one he won’t live to
tell about. Or so the enemy thinks.
