    About this series

    Bruised and battered after a gruelling battle against the invaders of human space, the survivors continue their search for a way to defeat the aliens.

    Their single hope lies in the information contained within a Humal artefact. Information that promises them a long voyage to a distant star system. A system that, as far as they
    can tell, was once part of the mighty Humal Empire.

    So begins a journey that will test them all to their limits. A journey into darkness beset by enemies both from without and within.

    A journey from which, not all of them will return.

      The Humals. Humanoid Aliens. They dominated the spiral arm millennia ago then vanished without trace. Man had found traces of their presence, reverse-engineered their technology and speculated endlessly about their demise. But no one really knew what had happened. No one knew why they had disappeared or why so few traces of them remained. For James Hamilton the Humals were not something he concerned himself about. Not, that is, until a billionaire philanthropist seeks him out with a proposition he can't ignore. It started out as the offer of a lifetime. A way to finally end all his financial concerns and to do something good for humanity into the bargain. But as Hamilton was well aware, if something sounds too good to be true then it usually means trouble. Suspicious, Hamilton fears the worst and plans accordingly but even he is unprepared for the events that will follow. With precious few allies and more questions than answers, Hamilton must desperately try to piece together the clues in order to understand what is going on before it is too late. For what starts out as a journey for the betterment of mankind may well sow the seeds of its destruction.

      The Jada-Ko-Vari. A sentient, alien virus-race that infects any storage medium sufficiently large to contain them – computers, ships, even the human brain. Once inside, they control whatever they occupy completely. Their goal is simple. To eradicate humanity. After a brush with the supposed leader of the aliens, James Hamilton and his ship-mates return to human space to find everything seemingly normal. But normality is something Hamilton has grown wary of over the years. Hamilton knows the aliens, if they have made it to human space, will be almost impossible to stop. Able to access any networked resource and always one-step ahead of him, the aliens are as close to omnipotent as any human god could ever wish to be. To defeat them, he must outwit them. But outwitting the Jada-Ko-Vari will be difficult. It appeared as if they had already wiped out one species from the galaxy – the great and powerful Humal civilization. Against that kind of overwhelming power, what can one man hope to achieve?

      James Hamilton was dead. Killed in a failed mission to secure scientific help to find a way to defeat the alien invaders. For those who have escaped, survival is a priority. Pursued by both the aliens and the Imperials, they struggle to continue the fight and to follow the slim leads they had uncovered. But time is growing short. Walsh, the leader of the alien invaders, grows tired of the game of cat-and-mouse he is playing and his followers grow increasingly restless at his lack of results. If he is unable to deal with the threat that the renegade group of humans represent, he will be forced to give his people what many of them desire above all else. The one thing that Hamilton's group fears the most. The utter destruction of human civilization.
