Near-global destruction could stay the meddling hand of man for only so long... From a scarred but recovered Earth, the next great leap has begun: Colonize the stars to insure against extinction. But, behind the scenes of Humanity's interstellar designs, the military only puts mankind in the crosshairs, but our entire universe and a parallel one as well. The Multi-Military Patrol receives word of a mysterious enemy and its attack on The Seeker, an assault which has morphed each ship crewmember into a fetus. Captain Garrison Bartell, military genius turned mercenary, and the cold and beautiful naval captain, Dominique Astra, are thrust together to investigate the fate of the remote pirate-capture vessel. They race through the galaxy in the military's fastest ship, a two-person Light Skipper, only to find a lone scientist marooned on a planet of ice and phantasms. Does this man hold the key to diffusing the next Big Bang?
