From Little Stack
In the 24th century, humanity has spread across the stars via wormholes that allow for quick and easy transit between planets. But when stars begin to vanish, there is discovered an alien species—the Primes, led by the intelligence MorningLightMountain—that sees humanity as competition and thus needing to be eliminated. Though it takes a lot of time to build the Commonwealth and introduce the stakes, characters, and tone of the world, once it kicks off the alien invasion tone, it gets dark and brutal quickly—and I am here for it!
An imaginative and stunning tale of the perfect future threatened . . . a book of epic proportions not unlike Frank Herbert's Dune or Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy.
The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars, contains more than six hundred worlds interconnected by a web of transport "tunnels" known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: over one thousand light-years away, a star . . . disappears. Since the location is too distant to reach by wormhole, the Second Chance, a faster-than-light starship commanded by Wilson Kime, a five-times-rejuvenated ex-NASA pilot, is dispatched to learn what has occurred and whether it represents a threat.
Opposed to the mission are the Guardians of Selfhood, led by Bradley Johansson. Shortly after the journey begins, Kime wonders if the crew of the Second Chance has been infiltrated. But soon enough he will have other worries. Halfway across the galaxy, something truly incredible is waiting: a deadly discovery whose unleashing will threaten to destroy the Commonwealth . . . and humanity itself.
