Humanity’s first voyage into interstellar space begins as an ambitious mission of exploration, but the arrival of the Vorpal Blade and its crew sets off an unforeseen crisis on a distant world.

Their mission quickly becomes a desperate struggle to understand unfamiliar civilizations, survive the consequences of first contact, and prevent an apocalyptic catastrophe. Blending military science fiction, high-stakes adventure, and inventive extraterrestrial threats, the novel offers a fast-paced look at humanity’s perilous first steps beyond the stars.
