Captain Dylan Hunt must save Beka Valentine and prevent a war in this original science fiction adventure based on the hit TV series.

When Beka Valentine's ne'er-do-well brother Rafe arrives on the Andromeda Ascendant, she can't turn him away because he claims to have found the mother they never knew. Unfortunately, right now the Andromeda is the midst of negotiations between the Drago-Kazov Pride and the Human Interplanetary Alliance, which seeks to free Earth and other old-school planets from the Nietzschean yoke. But the HIA may also be allied with the pure-human-supremacist Knights of Genetic Purity, who have become every bit as fanatical as the genetically engineered devil they oppose. If the HIA allies with the Genites, the Milky Way will see yet another Human-Nietzschean bloodbath.

But Beka can't resist the chance to find her long-lost mother. Years before, Magdalena Valentine went on a quest to find the advanced technology of the lost Vedran race. A technology so powerful it lets the Vedrans hide their solar system in the fabric of the Slipstream itself; so powerful it could destroy the universe as we know it.

Now only Dylan Hunt can stop Beka Valentine from activating the Vedran device. And he may have to kill her to do it. Unless the Knights of Genetic Purity or the Human Interplanetary Alliance kill him first . . .
