"J'ai longtemps rêvé que ma mère était noire. Je m'étais inventé une histoire, un passé, pour fuir la réalité à mon retour d'Afrique, dans ce pays, dans cette ville où je ne connaissais personne, où j'étais devenu un étranger. Puis j'ai découvert, lorsque mon père, à l'âge de la retraite, est revenu vivre avec nous en France, que c'était lui l'Africain. Cela a été difficile à admettre. Il m'a fallu retourner en arrière, recommencer, essayer de comprendre. En souvenir de cela, j'ai écrit ce petit livre."

After enlisting the reluctant help of a Union scientist with unique knowledge of the Aterniens, Master Commander Carter Rose embarks on his most dangerous mission yet. Ahead of them is Old Aternus, a dark and inhospitable world where the Aterniens were exiled to after the first war. Now, abandoned, Old Aternus holds the key to discovering the secret location of the Empire’s new home planet, and the chance to finally strike the Aterniens where it hurts.

Master Commander Carter Rose has always been one step behind the Aterniens, but now it is time to take the fight back to his enemy. His plan necessitates him finding the mastermind of the Longsword officer program – a man who has not been seen in nearly a century.

The incident at Terra 6 proved that the Aterniens could strike at the heart of the Union, but the god king has many more tricks up his sleeve. Aterniens imposters posing as humans are spread throughout the Union, causing chaos, and generating suspicion and fear. But as Rose tackles one crisis another appears. A weapon capable of eradicating the population of entire worlds has been unleashed, and it’s his job to stop it.

Frustrated by his inability to act, Rose takes matters into his own hands, and travels to the occupied planet of Terra 6 to find his Master Operator, a key member of his crew, now at grave risk. But there is far more to the invasion that Rose has been led to believe. The Aterniens have a new bioweapon, and Terra 6 is their testing ground.

Once, Master Commander Carter Rose was the Union’s secret weapon. An augmented, bio-engineered officer in command of the most powerful warship ever devised by human minds, Rose brought them victory against the post-human Aternien Empire. Then they cast him aside. A century later, living alone on a distant forest moon, feared and forsaken by the people he fought to save, Rose has grown bitter and resentful, while his superhuman body refuses to age.

Through a 'leaking' of time, the West African jungle starts to crystallize. Trees are metamorphosed into enormous jewels. Crocodiles encased in second glittering skins lurch down the river. Pythons with huge blind gemstone eyes rear in heraldic poses. Fearing this transformation as a herald of the apocalypse, most flee the area in terror, afraid to face a catastrophe they cannot understand. But some, dazzled and strangely entranced, remain to drift through this dreamworld forest.
