From the mind of the visionary author behind the Revelation Space series comes an epic interstellar journey of war, identity, betrayal, and the very survival of civilization itself. A titanic conflict, spanning hundreds of worlds and solar systems, appears to be drawing to a close. A conscripted soldier, now reflecting on her life after the war and the family she has left behind, finds herself at a crossroads. However, for Scur and humanity, peace remains an elusive dream.

As the ceasefire nears, Scur, a valiant soldier, is tragically captured by a renegade war criminal and left for dead amidst the ruins of a bunker. Miraculously, she manages to revive aboard a prisoner transport vessel, but the ship is plagued by a mysterious and catastrophic malfunction. The passengers, hailing from both sides of the war, emerge from their hibernation far too early, their memories etched in bullets, serving as the only threads connecting them to a world that has undergone a drastic transformation.

Among these passengers is Scur's old adversary, whom she must confront once again, but this time the stakes are immeasurably higher. The fate of civilization hangs in the balance, and Scur must navigate a treacherous and perilous journey to unravel the secrets that lie at the heart of the ship's malfunction and prevent the impending doom that threatens to engulf the entire universe.

With courage, determination, and the support of her fellow passengers, Scur embarks on a mission to save not only herself but the entire human race from the jaws of destruction. As she delves deeper into the mysteries of the ship and uncovers the dark forces that are at play, she realizes that the road ahead is fraught with peril and that the fate of humanity rests in her hands.
