Cole and his crew are lost in space and stranded with no way home. After escaping from the colony ship in a faraway system Cole has uncovered sinister evidence of August Walton's oppression: A castoff civilization living in the past and forced to comply with the Eternal leader's unjust edicts. It doesn't take long for Cole to realize that the planet has its own secrets. Navigating lies and half-truths leads to a brewing rebellion led by the one person who might hold all the answers he seeks. But, as any good Renegade knows, nothing's ever easy. Time is running short. The enemy is always one step ahead, no one is who they appear to be, and Cole doesn't have the firepower or personnel to go up against the might of a seed ship. That isn't going to stop him from doing what he always does. Survive and overcome. Failure isn't an option. The stakes are higher than ever and freedom comes at a heavy cost. To get his crew back home before they're all too old to care, Cole must push himself to the limit and decide how much he's willing to sacrifice.
