Found adrift far from Consortium space, pilot Dakota Merrick and
Lucas Corso are taken prisoner by the alien Bandati. There, Dakota
discovers that humanity's knowledge of the galaxy is frighteningly
inaccurate. The Shoal has apparently been fighting a frontier war
with a rival species, the Emissaries, for thousands of years. As
yet, the latter seem unaware of their FTL technology's full
destructive capabilities. But the Bandati now have this
information, and they will use it for profit. Dakota realises, to
her shock, that the Shoal may therefore hold the Galaxy's best
chance for peace. Forging an alliance with Trader, a Shoal-member,
she's determined to prevent the Bandati's deadly knowledge from
reaching the Emissaries. Yet despite her efforts, a nova war now
seems inevitable - a war that will destroy millions of inhabited
worlds.
