Dean Crawford

The Atlantia is all that remains of humanity: a former fleet frigate turned prison-ship now hunted by a terrifying force and crewed by an alliance of murderous convicts, exhausted soldiers and terrified civilians determined to confront the technological horror that has consumed mankind. Pursuing the infamous pirate Taron Forge, the Atlantia encounters the aged wreck of a legendary vessel, Endeavour, the first human ship ever to leave the Core Systems to explore the cosmos. Missing for almost a century, Atlantia's Marines board the ship in the hopes of finding other survivors. But what they find aboard Endeavour is a legacy of humanity's hopes and dreams twisted into a nightmare, and a future held in the hands of their greatest enemy: The Word and its Legion. As the crew comes to terms with their discoveries, so Evelyn is forced to confront her own personal demons as the truth behind her immunity to the Legion's Infectors is finally revealed, and the wider galaxy's plans for humanity laid bare. Targeted for extinction by the Galactic Council, Captain Idris Sansin and his crew must decide just who is an enemy and whether any species in the galaxy can be trusted at all...
