The Triton follows the clues discovered in an ancient, alien key intent on discovering the history of their enemies. The trip takes them to a world populated by a forgotten tribe of beings lost to the sands of time. An ancient temple hides information they desperately need to uncover the next step in their quest. But they aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Old enemies pursue a similar path while threats on the surface both conventional and otherwise bar their path. Every member of the human crew will find themselves tested, pushing them to the limits as they fight not only for their objective but their very lives. Elsewhere in the universe, the hunt for the mystical Prophet continues. A POW struggles to unify other prisoners in an effort to escape and a Prytin vessel finds itself behind enemy lines, squaring off with a dangerous foe.
