Description:

Eighty missiles. Twelve get through. Barely a scratch. When crystalline warships emerge from nowhere above Joint Base Sagittarius Arch, Colonel Mateo Larra discovers humanity’s weapons are nearly useless. The Kin’s living vessels absorb punishment that would vaporize a battleship, while their energy weapons carve through Coalition shields like tissue paper. But the Kin are just slaves to something far deadlier… the Home, a moon-sized organism that has devoured civilizations for millennia. It doesn’t want resources or territory. It wants biological material. Outgunned and isolated in a hostile galaxy, Larra must defend humanity’s first trans-galactic base with whatever he has: untested pilots, civilian volunteers, and a sheer stubborn refusal to die. While mysterious six-armed aliens watch from the shadows and League spies work within, the Colonel faces an enemy that has never known defeat. One space station. One wormhole. One chance to stop an unstoppable force.

“Again, that sense of untetheredness, of unreality, of not being sure what to do or how to move. Books. The thought was a beacon, something to cling to. I brought books.“
