Blind and broken, orphaned teenager Jonah Lincoln reluctantly boards a
rescue ship bound for the planet Thetis, but not before it picks up a
few more surprising and dangerous survivors from the massacre on the
moon Achilles. After regaining his sight, Jonah sees the gated colony on
Thetis is just as he feared--cloaked in mystery and under an oppressive
rule with no one to trust--and that outside the walls, it's even worse.
Surrounded by terrifying new landscapes and creatures, Jonah and his
friends fight to save the colony and restore order to the planet.
Just as Jonah grasps his near-impossible mission, the alien voices from
Achilles return, pushing him to discover the truth about the Silver Foot
Galaxy and his role in both its future and past. And when another ship
arrives, it's then Jonah knows he has to make the ultimate sacrifice.
