Publisher's Synopsis
Centuries after the ecological collapse of Earth, humanity has spread among the stars. Then comes the brutal decimation of Kassa, a small farming planet, by a mysterious attacker. The few survivors send out a plea for aid, which is answered by two unlikely rescuers. While flying rescue missions to extract survivors from the surface, they discover what could be the most important artifact in the history of man: an alien spaceship, crashed and abandoned during the attack. But something tells them there is more to the story. Together, they discover the cruel truth about the destruction of Kassa, and that an imminent alien invasion is the least of humanity's concerns.
