Darien is no longer a lost outpost of humanity, but the prize
in an intergalactic power struggle. Hegemony forces have a
stranglehold over the planet and crack troops patrol its hotspots
while Earth watches, passive, rendered impotent by galactic
politics. But its Darien ambassador will soon become a player in a
greater conflict. There is more at stake than a turf war on a newly
discovered world. An ancient Uvovo temple hides access to a
hyperspace prison, housing the greatest threat sentient life has
ever known. Millennia ago, malignant intelligences were caged there
following an apocalyptic war. And their servants work on their
release. However, Darien''s guardians have not been idle, gathering
resistance on the planet''s forest moon. Knowledge has been lost
since great races battled in eons past, and now time is short. The
galaxy will depend on the Uvovo reclaiming their past - and
humanity must look to its future. For a new war is coming.
