It is the end of a bloody and savage 10-year-long interstellar war. Earth is part of the 230 sentient races of the Polisian War Fleet on their suicide mission to destroy “The Scourge,” an unknown bellicose species whose only purpose is to destroy all intelligent life and colonize their sterilized habitats.

On the far side of The Milky Way Galaxy, Tennyson and the crew of The Ekaterina infiltrate the enemy’s massive, rogue Dyson sphere, and set off a devastating Singularity-Bomb, an all-devouring Dark Matter Fountain which not only destroys the enemy but most of the galactic space-gate network that is the travel infrastructure for the entire galaxy.

The Ekaterina is now cut off from Earth. Stranded far from home, the crew must combine cold-sleep hibernation, near-light-speed relativistic space flight, and random, unmapped, Dark Energy Arterial Tunnels in a dangerous, epic journey of Homeric proportions.
