In the third book of the Daedalus Rimes Saga, it's been four years since the Korlah arrived. Earth is reeling from the infusion of alien technology as preparations are made to defend the planet from an impending invasion. The great leap into space has begun with wild abandon.
After years of imprisonment, Teela escapes to find a world very different from the one she remembers. Faced with tragedy and loss, she must fight her way back into space and convince those she abandoned to help her. Forming new alliances, and rekindling old friendships, Teela joins forces with a group of privateers and embarks on a mission to rescue the one thing she holds most dear in the galaxy.
Developing her telepathic powers and tapping the essence within, Teela battles pirates, political corruption and religious zealots with the help of her constant companion, Daedalus Rimes.
