Captain Brennar Faulkner of the PeaceKeeper Corps has just been thrown a big curve. Yeah, he's been Resuscitated before, but this time they've installed him in a new prototype made from a silicon-based, experimental substance recently created for an ultra-secret project. He's finding out that getting around in his new body prototype is kind of like learning to pilot a star fighter after decades flying transport freighters. Not even this new prototype's designers know the full extent of its capabilities, so Captain Faulkner is pretty much flying blind. And he doesn't have time to mess around, because the Keepers' missions are being sabotaged, Bren is targeted for elimination ...and then there is the small issue of the serial dreams about a beautiful woman who may or may not exist somewhere in the galaxy.
