General Cherry Lindstrom made a decision that killed millions of a friendly alien species and threatens the future of humanity. A deadly poison is creeping across the surface of her planet, but the allies of humanity won’t reach Concordia in time to mount a rescue. While the scientists battle to find a way to neutralize the lethal toxin, Cherry is chasing down another threat: an enigmatic visitor who arrived just prior to the chemical attack. Her guts tell her the new arrival is up to no good, but others think she’s wrong.

As Carys Ellis travels to Polaris she isn’t too concerned about what might happen. Whatever the future holds it can’t be worse than her past. And if it weren’t for her birds she wouldn’t even be aboard the Bres, flagship of the Interstellar Fleet. But there’s more to the Steadfast Star than expected. The true nature of the beings inhabiting the strange system is revealed, and the lives of all her shipmates come under threat.

All that remains of human civilization is a fledgling colony on Concordia, a planet light years from Earth. Infighting and disaster dogged the colony's earliest days, but through the determination and bravery of a few individuals, the remnants of humankind have clung to existence. One of the grittiest of these characters is Cherry Lindstrom. A farmer turned freedom fighter, she helped to lead the generational colonists rebellion. Now she must travel to the Galactic Assembly and persuade the leading powers to accept humans into their alliance.

When the Concordian colonists finally reached Earth after years lost in space, they expected a short visit. All they needed was bio-material to reseed their world. What they hadn’t anticipated was the arrival of the Scythians. They learn the deadly aliens attacked the planet once before, devastating the burgeoning civilization. Now they’re here to stay. Earth is weak. Humanity has barely begun to climb back to its previous level of development. The Concordians face a terrible choice: stick around and help in the effort to repel the invasion, or return home and save Concordia.
