Publisher Description
When called to do battle many light years from home, the 1st Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Unit rose to the challenge – and now thousands of enslaved humans have been freed, but the earth has moved on…
Earth is twenty-one years older than the home planet they originally left, and the Marines need time to retrain and readjust – time they do not have, due to the bizarre disappearance of a detachment of their brothers- and sisters-in-arms. It is a mystery, but there is a starting point: an ancient wormhole threading through the Sirius system.
Whatever waits on the other side must be confronted, with stealth, with force, and without fear – be it an ancient enemy or a devastating new threat.
The Marines are heading into the perilous unknown . . . and what transpires there could reshape the universe for millennia to come.

‘Douglas knows his SF’
Publishers Weekly
‘The action is full-blooded and almost non stop, yet the well-developed background is surprisingly rich and logical … As immersive as it is impressive’
Kirkus (Starred Review)
