About this audiobook
Before the Galactic Patrol existed, two primordial, cosmic races fought a clandestine war across eons, using Earth as their ultimate chessboard. From the fall of Atlantis to the perilous early days of interplanetary spaceflight, humanity is unknowingly caught in a battle between absolute good and insidious evil. Pirates, ancient secrets, and devastating super-weapons collide as a fragile coalition of planets struggles to forge a united defense. A breathtaking prequel that sets the stage for the most expansive space opera universe ever conceived.
