Over a century after the seedship Lazarus completed its near 1,200 year journey, the Terran colonies found themselves in conflict with a hostile alien race. In a world decimated by a long, drawn-out war where a never-ending stream of fresh clones are fed to the Terran war machine, a genetically engineered squad of soldiers must fight to survive against all odds. When society is ruled from behind the scenes by massive corporate conglomerates that control powerful secret organizations and even the very Republic itself, the clones will come to question the world they live in, their fellow soldiers, and even the very nature of their existence. What’s more, they must struggle to establish their own identities in a world that has little respect for human life, and even less for that of a clone.

On the run from a powerful secret organization that covets their unique psionic abilities, Marcus Grey and his squad of cloned soldiers are forced to leave behind all that they have come to know. With the aid of C-CORE, an organization founded to establish peaceful contact with alien life, they embark on a voyage clear across the galaxy, where they must strive to maintain hope in a bizarre and intimidating new world. As Marcus' visions begin to come true, they realize that they're in for a lot more than they'd bargained for. Meanwhile, back on Terra, Takahashi works to uncover a sinister plot of the highest order, whilst struggling to cope with losing control of his corporate empire, and a daughter who seems hell-bent on destroying his legacy.
