The conclusion to Kevin Emerson's epic, which Tui Sutherland, New
York Times bestselling author of the Wings of Fire series, has called
"perfect science fiction."
It is Earth year 2256--but the fate of the few who even remember Earth
is perilously in doubt. Mina Saunders-Chang and many of the surviving
humans are stranded in the Centauri system, having barely survived their
confrontation with the Telphon refugees. Now everyone--human and Telphon
alike--is caught in the blast zone of the Centauri supernova. And yet
there's only one question Mina is asking:
Where are Liam and Phoebe?
Having barely made it through the battle at the Centauri system with
their lives, Liam and Phoebe awake on a mysterious ship in the middle of
a dead universe. The ship bears the markings of a human starliner that
disappeared decades ago--but even more disturbing than that is the
massive alien machine floating in the starless space before them.
A machine long abandoned but now showing signs of life. A machine that
has begun speaking to Liam in a voice only he can hear. . . .
