On a long-haul flight aboard the colony ship Plus de Guerre, Max is unexpectedly pulled out of hibernation to find the ship empty but for 70,000 frozen colonists bound for Corriedor. Mordred, an alien entity, has slipped aboard unnoticed and subverted the ship's AI. Max and his makeshift team: Blake, Zac, and Raph, must out-think Mordred and stay alive long enough to help the settlers already on Corriedor. When they learn of Mordred's grand plan, though, it becomes more than just a battle to save themselves. From the arid daylight side to the ice-bound dark side of Corriedor, they must stop a menace that has its sights on destroying humanity.
