No one knows better than the pilots: in the thrall of FTL mushrooms, distance is an illusion.

When Anna Brooks was kidnapped, Zach Coburn believed the battle was to get her back. Little did he know how many entities wanted her for the secrets locked inside her.

Old enemies have Zach in their sights like never before as the game to control space turns volcanic and small competitors leverage themselves against the massive corporations.

Throttled jump distances once gave the corporations the advantage in controlling space. Now the Very Good Mushroom Concern will be their undoing.

Without Anna, is that still true?

Zach knew he had a lot of enemies, but as they line up to take everything from him and gain the advantage on the interstellar stage, Zach must confront more than the demons from the life he left behind.

The journey is as much within him as outside him. Anna is key, but Zach is only now discovering how true that is. Together they have the power to unlock cosmic secrets.

…who has Anna?

Can Zach and his crew find her before another powerful entity gets their hands on her and either silences her or uses her knowledge to unlock mind-blowing FTL distances? If he has to, Zach will burn the galaxy down on his quest across the galaxy searching for her.
