The leader of the freedom fighters, Luke Palmer, must leave to try and find his sister, Emma, who has been taken by slavers and sold to the Corporation.

Rachel Navara is a soldier. She and her brother, Rowan, were sent from Earth to Silica, to aid Luke and those resisting the militant group known as Sabre Company. In Luke's absence, Rachel must lead. And to her horror, she finds out what happened to those who could not escape the tyranny of corporate rule.

Lana is Professor Peter O'Conner's augmented human creation. While she was being rapidly grown, Lana was taught everything she needed to know through O'Conner's special neural connection program.

Once Lana reaches the developmental maturity of a twenty-four-year-old woman, her purpose is revealed. Professor O'Conner wants her to brave the unknown and venture into alternate realities. However, he knows Lana may want to go her own way and live a normal life.

But there is no time for Lana to take either path. Due to Professor O'Conner's involvement in aiding the forces led by Captain Henry Drake and his crew, Lana's home — everything and everybody she has ever known — is now under threat.

In a world of space travel, teleportation, alliance with alien beings and travel between parallel universes, Lana must learn to adapt, to develop her abilities and discover her true potential.

Four years after the liberation of Silica and its capital, Liberty, the escaped militant criminals known as Sabre Company have returned to exact retribution upon Rachel Navara and the Universal Community, who fought for freedom.

What begins as a game of cat-and-mouse soon becomes one of intrigue. Fiona Parker, Junior Council member and former freedom fighter who served during the liberation of Silica, must find those responsible for the death of her parents and countless others.
