Publisher's Synopsis
The Spirit of Destiny is a wreck.Earth faces a brutal alien conquest. A pilot without a ship gambles everything on one last shot.
When the Spirit of Destiny crashed on the moon, Earth's last hope of escaping alien conquest was lost. Pilot Jack Kildare and the battle-hardened crew of the SoD survived, but they are trapped in Earth's ramshackle little moon colony, exposed to the constant threat of alien attack.
On Earth, the alien behemoth Lightbringer lies in the African jungle, grounded but no less deadly. Its crew spread destruction across a planet racked by conflict. Former astronaut Hannah Ginsburg inherits a dangerous role as go-between for the aliens and humankind. As much as she struggles to rein in the spreading chaos, her complicity in the alien conquest grows, pushing her nearer to the breaking point.
Meanwhile, on the moon, Jack is desperate to get back to Earth and rejoin the fight. But the moon colonists side with the aliens, forcing him to lie and steal just to survive. His chance for redemption comes unexpectedly, when shipmate Skyler Taft detects a horrific new threat to our solar system.
Humanity and aliens, locked in a bitter war for our planet, will all perish together ... unless Jack can achieve the impossible, and work together with his worst enemy to save Earth.
