As a society, the Interstellar Web was dying. Enormous fortunes were amassed in the face of unspeakable want, and avarice thrived as sport. With no villains left to fight but each other, quarreling factions stood prepared to devour one another at the slightest provocation.

None of this mattered to Zoeicelli K Galvin, Black Ops Commander, and ex-Marine. Exiled to a remote command on The Frontier, nobody was looking for him until he was ordered to investigate the disappearance of a fellow Black Ops commander. What starts as a routine search and recovery operation rapidly escalates into something more sinister as Galvin suddenly finds himself caught up in a web of deceit and corruption. On the very edge of civilization, from the coldest of barrens to blistering infernos, Galvin is not only forced to confront The Enemy, but also. . .The Enemy Within.

In the wake of The War Against The Enemy, a new generation of leadership has risen, promising to lead The Interstellar Web into a new era of peace and prosperity. At the crest of this of this new wave of robber barons are the Abernaths of Lethe. All that stands in the way of the ascension of Lorenzo III is the enigmatic Mr. Ecks, and the secret of the diamonds that bear his name. Or so he thought until his father is seduced by the idea of immortality, an idea which begets a crche of monsters born of a blasphemous science, vile creatures that soon escape his control.

Far away from Lethe lived Pierce Sicuro, an ordinary boy living an ordinary life in the suburbs of Ven Ashram. Without warning, Pierce is imprisoned by the Abernaths for no obvious reason, and then given up for dead. Not only does Pierce survive his captivity, but he escapes and takes with him the secret of the mysterious Ecks Stones. Now armed with knowledge and wealth, he seeks a vicious revenge upon his tormentorsand an entire way of life.
