As the Ceph colony on Earth spreads out across the globe, the Humans and Earth-Born Ceph fight a secret battle for humanity’s survival.
Our world hangs in a precarious balance between forces both subtle and terrifyingly powerful.
As the Alliance strives furiously to balance its own factions, monsters both human and inhuman threaten to bring that balance crashing down.
The World-Ship Swimmer in Relativity is close to arrival. It brings the galactic Ceph civilization back to Earth. If the Alliance cannot forge a relationship with human society before then, if violence is triumphant, it will mean the end of Earthlings as we know them, both Ceph and Human.
Time is short, and the odds for survival are long.
