Twelve light-years from Earth.Eighteen months until extinction.

When Commander Kira Vance leads humanity's first interstellar expedition to Tau Ceti, she expects to find ruins. Instead, she discovers the Keraneth, an ancient civilization that has spent eight centuries preparing for the Vethrak's return.

Their towering monument holds a warning, and the memories of those who died to preserve it. But the enemy is already watching.

When a Vethrak task force arrives to investigate a blinded surveillance network, a fragile alliance is forced into its first trial. Human sensors. Keraneth weapons. Two species who have known each other for weeks, standing together against an enemy that has been harvesting civilizations since before humanity discovered fire.

The charge against the heavy cruisers will become legend.
