That desperate plea pulled Captain Jason Burke and Omega Force down the rabbit hole into the lawless underworld of the Orion Region, hunting a lethal new syndicate that’s carving through the criminal empires with ease. With the crew cut off from allies and every move watched, Jason and his team must expose the endgame before the entire sector explodes—without putting their friends squarely in the crosshairs. Omega Force is on its own. Backs against the wall. And that’s exactly when they’re the most dangerous.

The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems - and billions of people - are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction...and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known.

The Interdependency, humanity’s interstellar empire, is on the verge of collapse. The Flow, the extra-dimensional conduit that makes travel between the stars possible, is disappearing, leaving entire star systems stranded. When it goes, human civilization may go with it - unless desperate measures can be taken. Emperox Grayland II, the leader of the Interdependency, is ready to take those measures to help ensure the survival of billions. But nothing is ever that easy.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Connor might be the wrong man for the colony, but he's the right man to see that it survives what's coming.

But none of that matters to Dalton while his crew is gone.
