Twenty-five years after our universe nearly succumbed to the very Incarnation of Destruction, and three years after Doctor Damien Howard asked Charlotte Omandi to assemble a crew for Earth’s first starship, Bladerunner, a new adventure has begun. William Thorne, first born son to the Sentinel and Soulborn of Order, has been offered a critical mission from the unlikeliest of angelic sources.

As she and her crew prepare to become the first humans to travel outside our solar system, a string of assassination attempts lead them to an unlikely mystery.
