An alien colony vanishes without a trace.

Lt. Jade Mahelona idolizes her father, a Solar Defense Force admiral, and tries to follow in his footsteps. She excels in the Academy and is brilliant in hand-to-hand combat thanks in part to a rare ability to sense electric fields. Then an alien stargate knocks her career 500 light-years off course.

Jade joins a rescue team's quest to save the remote alien colony. But her nanobiological team leader despises her, the cerebral alien scientist doesn't have a clue about humans, and the only other human on the team is a professor who thinks all soldiers are grunts.

When an unexpected turn of events puts Jade in command of the rescue team, she must make them work together to survive against a brutal, immortal cyborg who wants them dead. Mysterious legendary creatures become real, and Jade discovers godlike technology that will change the galaxy forever.

Jade must not merely survive, but destroy the cyborg, because her band of misfit aliens is all that stands between Earth and its conquest by immortal hordes who value human food-thralls for their juicy taste as much as for their backbreaking forced labor.
