"Humans talk too much. Venyex act, Nashtara."
The Namragj will take off again. But with whom?
Five grueling years later, the alien Cripbons have squashed all hope for their prisoners—human and Venyex—of ever returning home. Providing military support in exchange for home was a lie. To survive in the xenophobic underground city, Captain Nashtara Jalligam has adapted to their captors. Problem is, she has lost sight of what matters: escape.
Tirst Koryr hates her even more for it.
Uncovering a dreadful secret, escape becomes the only option. But when an orbital attack opens a window of opportunity, Commander Cort Dan and Major Briyar Osgai’s tense leadership fractures, affecting the chain of command as events escalate.
In this gripping race for freedom, fought from fighter cockpits, the combat-proven ship Namragj, and in dark tunnels, hope is constantly under fire.
But the fight isn’t over. Not until what’s left of the Namragj’s crew gives up.
