Descripción editorial
The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

Captivating and unnerving!
“The continuum, our collective consciousness is the universe’s overdue reaction to life.”
I’m a great admirer of Allen Kuzara’s writing, both in science fiction and dystopian/post apocalyptic genres.
This installment is finely written, with a great detailed world building. A high tech perfectly described. The momentum climb is deliciously unnerving, yet for every revelation and discovery we find another mystery. There are hard decisions to make, the pull of past missions or the family, old resentments must be cast aside and unite for their own survival in the newly constructed and advanced spaceship. As the pace quickened, as the end game drew near, I found myself trying to resist it. What I discovered was both compelling and terrifying at the same time. A wonderful first book of future technology, a space based society living in space stations, the corporate-government rivalry, and a rescue mission surrounded by a mysterious phenomenon. An excellent, captivating first installment. A series definitely worth reading!
