On the Age of Discovery, a massive cargo hauler, Kasey Lee works as a Custodial Technician, essentially a glorified janitor. When the Ides, a hostile alien race, attacks Earth's outposts, the Age must assist in the war effort. But Kasey discovers that there is a conspiracy on board, one which led the Ides straight to the outposts, and is now pointing them right at Earth. Can she discover their plans and stop them before it's too late?

It has been almost ten years since the Ides first attacked, and the sole survivor, Kasey Lee, has never been found. Floating alone in deep space in a cyrogenic stasis, Kasey Lee's escape pod beacon is finally discovered by lowly engineer, Casper Faulk. With both the Ascendancy and MarsForm both wanting her for their own purposes, Casper takes things into his own hands. But what he discovers will surprise them all.
