Aaron and Petra return to find the 12th Realm in turmoil. The Coalition is falling apart as rebellion paralyses many colonies. The Krell Emperor is dying and the Empire is fracturing - it all appears to be linked. But who is behind all the conflict? Rumours of one person, thought to be long dead, begin to circulate. A cruise liner is hijacked; a new battle cruiser is captured. Somehow the dimensions are being bridged and ancient human technology is at the core. Interdimensional forces are mobilised to invade the 12th Realm; all that stands between freedom and enslavement is Aaron Abraham and his small group of Freebooters. To stop the invasion, a co-ordinated attack in two realms is prepared; the plan is to close the bridge from both sides simultaneously. But, an eleventh-hour revelation forces Petra to risk a desperate gamble to stop the destruction. If she fails, her lover will be the one who kills her. To survive she needs a miracle! Human nature is laid bare: greed, revenge, hatred, bravery and love all interweave as this action filled adventure continues.
