Ryan Braeder's job to keep what remains of his species alive. With food and supplies dwindling, he has no choice but to take his last ships on a perilous journey to a dead colony on Ceres in a desperate bid to find provisions and replacement parts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Braeder didn't expect to find on the asteroid, among the barren regolith and deserted buildings, was a mutated virus and a rogue group of Russian scientists. Now, the more threads he pulls, the more he unravels a web of conspiracies, horrifying medical experiments, and a hidden threat that would see his crew marooned on the asteroid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, back on Europa, Braeder's second-in-command, Rani Singh, stumbles across an alien artifact buried in the ice sheets.

However, the artifact seems to have an agenda of its own, and it's impossible to know if it's intentions are friendly . . . or deadly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Simon\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of the First Command trilogy and Extinction series.
