Even death didn't stop the Army from coming after Samantha to finish her term of service. You'd think that dying would let you off the hook. But Sam's mind was uploaded to a digital world where she's been living ever since, so she comes back after each death. And now the military needs her back. Badly. *** A USA Today Bestselling author! *** We knew there was life out there in other solar systems. We also knew it wasn't friendly. Now they've arrived. It's just a single ship, but that could be more than enough. The aliens are building something out near Neptune. What the construction is and what they will do once it's complete, we don’t know. But it’s probably not a good thing for Earth. None of our ships can reach Neptune in time to stop them. No human could survive the acceleration required. But there might be an alternative, a long shot crew that can survive the journey - because they have no bodies. The proposed crew are digital minds, the uploaded consciousness of human beings. There's one catch: this venture isn't a game. Death is for keeps. Can Samantha and her friends from Valhalla Online rise to this new challenge? Or is Earth doomed?
