As he heads for the stars
His humanity holds him back

Alan Saul is now part-human, part-machine, and our solar system isn't big enough to hold him. But his sister Var is trapped on Mars, on the wrong side of a rebellion, and Saul's human side won't let her die. He must leave Argus Station to stage a dangerous rescue - but mutiny is brewing on board.

Serene Galahad will do anything to capture Saul. So she musters her warships, ready to unleash a terrifying display of interstellar violence. However, she has a weakness. Clay Ruger is returning to Earth, holding humanity's greatest asset - seeds to rebuild a dying Earth. He'll give them up, if Galahad gives up her life. But will she renounce her revenge and pay the price?
