Even in space, a captain goes down with his ship. When that fails, Lazarus finds himself in an alien realm that nobody knew existed. Alone and bereft, Lazarus must find a way to survive in this foreign empire, make alien allies, and then find a way home. The start of a new epic space opera series pitting all sides and dozens of alien species in a war for the future of the entire galaxy.

Lazarus has alien friends. Now, he needs human allies to find the spies that nearly killed him. A stop at a pirate world goes all wrong, but even those people won’t stop Lazarus from getting home. No matter who he has to kill to get there.

Lazarus leaves for Innruld Space with Eha. Addison must take both of their places on Brasilia and convince the High Council to help the aliens start a revolution, before Westphalia steals a march and conquers Innruld Space themselves.
