Jodi begins her hunt for the Queens, intent on destroying them. Fate intervenes when the space station she's exploring is destroyed by alien nuclear missiles. Now she's adrift in space and time, hundreds of light years and thousands of years away from help. Badly hurt, her memory near-obliterated, she no longer remembers who she is, let alone what her goal was. And the Queens must still be stopped, before they destroy any more civilizations.
