The race to defend Earth against the oncoming storm of Nubl hordes has begun. Humanity is on a knife-edge, despite surviving the first invading fleet of Shadow ships, a repeat attack would terminally damage Earth – it will not survive.
While Space Island frantically shores up Earth’s defences to increase the odds of survival, scientists and politicians also recognise the need to defend humanity from complete eradication. They enact plans and to protect the future of civilisation and newly discovered technology in the hope that one day the Nubl will be defeated, and planet Earth repopulated.
There is one man, extremely powerful and very determined who believes he has the answer to ensuring his personal survival. He sets about to beg, borrow and steal everything he needs to achieve his ambition. When he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams, he discovers the ultimate irony – that to survive, he must also be the first to die.
