The merciless galaxy-spanning Taar’kuun state stands ready to wipe the fledgling human worlds from existence. Five years of war have wrought desperation. Fleets poise for the final battle, and peace is only a dream.
Dr. Adrian Darus, the architect of the rebirth, dares to believe. With the help of an old captain, an obsolete warship, and its eclectic crew, he will venture into the heart of diplomacy and deception. But what if the price of peace is too high? Is it worth his daughter's life?
Adrian will discover the lust for power is not confined to any race, and sometimes battles must be fought to secure peace. In humanity’s darkest hour, an unlikely hope will arise, a force beyond the knowledge of humans or Taar’kuun.

If you love science fiction, you’ll find in Anders Raynor a kindred spirit.
Two passions have shaped his life: the love of science and the love of literature. He’s been a geek and a science fiction fan for as long as he can remember. In high school, the mysteries of distant stars and galaxies excited his imagination more than the charms of the opposite sex. But the mysteries of the human genome had even greater appeal, and he went to university to study molecular biology at the age of fifteen. He defended his PhD in this discipline a few years later.
His science fiction stories were published in a scientific magazine when he was twenty, yet his first novel would not see the light of day for almost two decades. In the meantime, he traveled a lot, his most memorable adventures being in the Australian Outback. His encounter with indigenous Australians inspired his fiction, in particular the idea of beings who communicate with mankind through visions and dreams.
Anders works as a full-time writer of fiction and nonfiction. He’s the creator of the Genosimilators universe and a science fiction book series about the rebirth of mankind after its assimilation by highly advanced aliens.
When he’s not busy writing, reading, or playing video games, Anders enjoys hiking, digital photography, and, of course, dreaming about the future.
