Col Sec, Colonial Security has kept the peace in the galaxy for decades. General Sinclair has led this organisation for the better part of his career but now after the events in The Blackstar Gambit he resigned his commission to safeguard the organisation and good people who worked there.
Now new challenges face him with the OSI, Offworld Special Intelligence.
President Takagi tasked him to find answers behind the secrets learned on the surface of Tartaran. A planet that holds more than secrets the agents learned a while ago, it could hold the secret of the human race's origin.
Enter Captain Jon Savage, a decorated Col Sec Recon Delta Marine whose life is tragically and irrevocably changed who now finds himself the focus of a mission to find the answers.
In a race to find these answers Savage and his new friends in the OSI come up against terrible monsters and a group determined to control them. Lives will be lost and some changed forever before the truth becomes clear but just who will be the ones left standing when the final card is dealt?
