A routine resupply, a space station under siege, a crew stranded 18 million light years from Earth – the only thing that can get them back home is the truth. Ariel Anderson is Captain of private cargo vessel The Hollow Sun. While docked on the far side of an interstellar gateway at the distant Achilles Two transfer station, she and her crew become trapped when Achilles is boarded by a rogue paramilitary faction known as The Coalition. It is soon discovered that The Coalition is hunting through the station for somebody… somebody the crew of The Hollow Sun know all too well.
