An ambitious student. A war spanning solar systems. Will his drive to understand the unknowable save his planet?

Earth, New Era Year 1. Marcus Adams has lost too much already. And living in a world where intergalactic entities are part of everyday conversation, he yearns to wield their power. So when he's offered a chance to join a controversial training process, the highly intelligent stoic brushes aside the concerns of his family to jump into the program's dangers.

Faced with an ordeal that's wringing him dry emotionally and physically, Marcus is left adrift by his closest friends' bitter hatred of the inhuman intelligence with which he's integrating. And as the aliens' mortal enemy draws closer to an invasion, it becomes more and more difficult for the bold young man to discern if he's chosen the correct side...

Will Marcus become the hero humanity needs to survive contact with another species?
