Bestselling author Tanya Huffâs Confederation series of military science fiction returns with a novel where one womanâs discovery shakes the foundations of the intergalactic alliance itself...
Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr has had enough of special treatmentâand of gaping, skepticism, and whispers of Silsviss or Big Yellow as she passes. Sheâs glad to be back with her own Shâquo Company, surrounded by familiar faces and enduring more razzing than awe. Of course, the company is going into battle again, facing death on all sides in a centuries-old war where every attempt at diplomacy fails, and sheâs got a brand-new second lieutenant to train. Another glorious day in the Confederation Marine Corps.
The battle goes disastrously wrong. And yet somehow Torin wakes up. The Others donât take prisonersâor so the Confederation has always said. But the dark tunnels and mysterious mechanisms of the warren around her certainly seem like a prison. And thereâs more going on than simple confinement. One after another, Torinâs most cherished beliefs are shaken to the core. Sheâs always been a survivor. But time is running out. If she has to question everything to escape, answers had better start coming fast...
