They are ordered to travel alone deep into alien territory to find and unlock the ancient secrets of the treasure planet, no matter the cost. New allies means new trouble. The team welcomes a new assault infantry squad aboard the ship. They reconsider their position when the hard-earned bond of Cyrus and Kat is strained by soldiers who don’t appreciate having to work with a civilian with no military background. There’s not a lot of time for Kat to whip the boys into shape before they hit alien territory. But is it already too late to stop the terror? With dangers lurking on the frontier, the crew needs to pull together. Humanity’s alien enemies have their own plans and are prepared to kill anyone who gets in their way.
