Publisher's Summary

Dangerous forces are at work across galactic space that the Omnians are attempting to stabilize, but their resources are severely strained.

The SADEs, self-aware digital entities, express to Alex Racine and Renée de Guirnon their desire to know the method of their creation. Alex and Renée, the Omnian co-leaders, want to obtain the knowledge for the SADEs, who are humans’ closest allies.

Alex, Renée, and Julien, a friend and a SADE, board the giant city-ship, Freedom, which sails for Méridien, the home world of the far-reaching human colonies of the Confederation. They have a long overdue appointment with House Brixton, the Méridien group responsible for creating the SADEs. However, Shannon Brixton, the House Leader, is expected to zealously guard the secrets of the SADEs’ origination.

While at Méridien, Alex receives an urgent message requesting help in alliance space, where a small group of Omnians and Earthers battle the Colony, a race of insectoids, which is subsuming planets. 

To complicate matters, a rogue battleship fleet left the federacy, bypassed the human colonies, and is searching among the alliance worlds for a habitable planet. If an unoccupied world isn’t found, they’re prepared to evict the inhabitants by force.

In the wake of Alex’s exit from Omnia for alliance space, Hector is left in charge of the Omnians’ second fleet. The SADE temporarily carries the mantle of protector of human colonies and allied worlds.

For the Omnians, life and its challenges couldn’t be more precarious, or could they?

what happened?

changing narrators was a huge mistake. 7 books of character development in terms of their personalities, voices and interactions with other characters all ruined. every character sounds the same, cadences are the same, now and it's harder to keep track of who's speaking. The mispronounced words are annoying too. if you're going to switch narrators, they'd have to have listened to the previous books. would love to see this narrated again properly with grover gardner or someone with a similar voice and capability to really tell a story and immerse you in it.

Where the hell did they find this narrator?

Why oh why did they change the narrator. Every male sounds like an "educated neanderthal". I found my-self wishing for the end. Too late now, the series is killed.
