"An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But
this is like finding a military base with no one on it.
Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers.
This is bad juju. Something wrong happened here. What you
should do is tell everyone to leave."
The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds and
the rush to colonize has begun. Settlers looking for a new
life stream out from humanity's home planets. Ilus, the
first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born
in blood and fire.
Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of
a corporate colony ship with only their determination,
courage, and the skills learned in the long wars of home.
Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a
new and alien world. The struggle on Ilus threatens to
spread all the way back to Earth.
James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to
make peace in the midst of war and sense in the midst of
chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks
the mission was meant to fail.
And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great
galactic civilization that once stood on this land is gone.
And that something killed it.
