***"***Narrator Jennifer Hale's outstanding performance brings this
story of alien invasion to life...Hale's range of differentiation is
masterly as she animates all the quirky characters Kira meets. From the
rough, snarky slang of ex-military woman to the half-mad musings of a
human "ship mind," every unique voice enhances the listening
experience." -- AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner

Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds.
Now she's awakened a nightmare.
During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an
alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when
the ancient dust around her begins to move.
As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning
odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what
she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to
be human.
While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the
brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final
hope . . .
