About the book
In the 31st century, humanity stands on the precipice of extinction.
The colonies of humanity across the galaxy have been wiped out by the relentless attacks of the Korilian Empire, leaving Earth as the last refuge. Admiral Jon McCarthy's tactical skills and the ancient foresight of the Nexus House, a group of clairvoyants guiding humanity, are humanity's last hope.
As Earth faces destruction, the discovery of Lara Anderson, a woman with the rare ability to read minds, offers a glimmer of hope. Against all rules, Rhea Sidener, the leader of the Nexus House, decides to use Lara's powers, believing she can change the course of the war.
With the Korilian armada preparing for a final assault, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. A daring plan, defying the odds and testing human courage and resolve, will determine the outcome.
