Publisher's summary

Helem Gauss is gone, but his legacy lives on.

Calamity, the digital plague, is spreading, and where it strikes is both ruthless and random. Fearful of the Earth being ravaged, Van and the crew go on high alert to keep his homeworld free of galactic influence.

That vision is shattered when Tony Burgess captures an alien ship... in Wisconsin. The ship isn't just a stray workboat. It's the opening ploy of a group that sees humanity as a business opportunity too big to pass up.

Advancing in rank, Van is torn between two duties—to his crew and to his home. Since he isn't willing to give up the safety of either, he'll have to find a third way. Unfortunately for the forces against him, that path will include violence.

Chaney, Maggert & Kafer are the best team ever!

This has to be my favorite series of all time! J.N. Chaney & Terry Maggert have put together a storyline that continues to captivate! A wide diversity of exceptionally interesting characters coupled with dialogs that are riveting and usually hilarious, remind me of my own interactions with my family and shipmates. Jeffrey Kafer’s exceptional voices and narration are the best! I love it when he adds his bloopers at the end!

My only complaint is that Chaney, Maggert and Kafer can’t add 100 books to the series each year!!!

Just way to much to say

This has been yet another exciting and fun adventure in the BYSS saga. Ready for more and the prequels.

Great series

I have enjoyed reading series (or listening) to it. Well written and Jeffrey Kafer is a great reader. Sometimes you forget that it is only one person talking.

Expertly read (performed) by Kafer!

This series is a great read, but an even better listen. Thanks to the seemingly limitless capacity for Jeff Kafer to perform an entire library’s worth of characters, the story comes alive! What a fun listen. Thanks!!!!
