The Exodus Ark has reached its destination. Kainos awaits, a beautiful planet ripe for colonization. Unfortunately, it isn’t as empty as the Rodon Corp suggested. A mysterious signal draws Kent and his team to the surface where they encounter a race of intelligent life called the Volcuri. Their civilization is odd—a mixture of advanced technology and ancient ruins manned by a species who seem dangerous but aloof. The enemy who attacked the Ark is also present on Kainos... and their plans go far deeper than Kent could ever have imagined. A fight is coming, not just for survival of their new home, but for the entire galaxy at large.

A war is coming. Kainos is not the planet Exodus Ark colonists thought it would be. It is inhabited by the Volcuri, a once thriving race who fell victim to the First and now fight for their very survival. With the Ark unable to travel, its people have no choice but to stay and ally themselves with the Volcuri... or risk certain death. Kent and his team must return to the surface and embark on a new mission: find a way to defeat the Turned and stop the First from taking them all prisoner as mind-controlled slaves. Their hope lies in the lost history of the Volcuri’s past, but they only have one clue. The mountain holds the key to survival.
