In a future wracked by environmental catastrophe and social instability, physicist John Renfrew devises a longshot plan to use tachyons - strange, time-traveling particles - to send a warning to the past. In 1962, Gordon Bernstein, a California researcher, gets Renfrew's message as a strange pattern of interference in an experiment he's conducting.

Cassandra Cannon, a disgraced soldier turned mercenary, has one desperate goal: save her brother before his unraveling digitized consciousness is lost forever. Her plan is bold—steal a gravity lance, a weapon powerful enough to siphon energy from a black hole—while staying one step ahead of the United Human Collective military and the unpredictable Auroran Order.

After the disastrous end to the Culling, Talos demands Alexander’s absolute loyalty as penance for his attempt at rebellion. If he continues to fight back against Talos’ control, the Naharaim Valley will die. But if he gives in and helps Talos keep his stranglehold on Persepolis and its Champions, the carnage in the Coliseum will never end. Without a friend left in the Village, and with Samuel and his underground rebellion nowhere to be found, Alexander is alone under Talos' watchful eye, trapped in an impossible game where each day of indecision ends in more bodies.

He never wanted to become a Champion, but ambition changes everything. Modern society has fallen, but the people of the Naharaim Valley have learned to survive…barely. The Harvesters, peddling the promise of provision and supplies for the families of their chosen Champions, visit periodically through a Gate connecting Naharaim to a far more advanced society on the other side. Alexander has always been a survivor, solitary and able to take care of himself and his family.
