4/5 ( ratings)

The age of giga-fauna resumes as the Green Mountain Anomaly awakens; and begins hunting for food on a planet that has recovered since it’s last feeding season. At the same time, the Diaspora have returned-but why? And is the timing coincidence, or is something darker at play?

Alex is now looking for Connors – to take revenge for her father’s death. Woe betide any force; human, posthuman, or alien, that gets in her way.

Hoover’s illness grows and threatens his command, right when the fledgling nation most needs officers who put country before county.
