Humanity stands at an expansionist crossroads. Planetary systems have been colonized and exploited. Yet, even with barely fifteen percent of the Milky Galaxy fully explored, our species had already set sights on the Canis Galaxy, the closest galaxy. Technology and growth have been fueled by corporate greed, with massive conglomerates now having their own domains in space. Over everything is the Interstellar Galactic Federation, composed of spacefaring companies. The very way of life and humankind's destiny are in its hands. The Milky Way galaxy was but a stepping stone for corporate expansion. Nothing stood in humanity's path. With such kind of rapacious competition, the usual wars and conflicts are now commonplace, with rules governing intercorporate relationships being determined by the Federation. In space, only the truly powerful survive. But despite such galactic advances, humanity has yet to encounter another sentient lifeform. An experience that had given birth to an unwarranted arrogance in the primacy of its species. All that is about to change. There is life out there, but not life as humanity expected it to be. Now, man's very existence will rest in the hands of a few intrepid individuals at the edge of human space.(A science fiction novel of approximately 67,500 words) The Revised Edition made changed most of the images used in the book.
