Hudson Powell war schon immer ein Herumtreiber, aber nach dem Tod seines Vaters schwor er sich, sein Leben zu ändern. Er gab seine freiberufliche Tätigkeit als Raumschiffpilot auf und trat im Alter von 38 Jahren als Rookie der Relic Guardian Force bei. Das war ein großer Fehler. Die RGF bewacht die außerirdischen Wracks, die auf jeder Portalwelt gefunden wurden, die im letzten Jahrhundert entdeckt wurde. Sie sorgt dafür, dass die Reliktjäger Steuern für die unbezahlbare außerirdische Technologie zahlen, die sie aus den Wracks bergen. Der Haken: Die RGF ist korrupt.

Hudson Powell und Tory Bellona sind die besten Sammler von Sternenschrott in der Galaxie. Sie riskieren alles, um in den Wracks riesiger Raumschiffe auf fernen Welten Alienartefakte aufzuspüren. Der Kampf gegen tödliche Rivalen, skrupellose Kartelle und korrupte Beamte gehört zu ihrem Alltag. Doch nun droht eine noch viel größere Gefahr. Ein fanatischer Kult unter der Führung der Eiferin Amelia Ash hat eine bösartige KI erweckt. Dieser uralte Zerstörer ist für die Vernichtung unzähliger Zivilisationen verantwortlich.

Währenddessen reist Morphus zu einem mächtigen außerirdischen Relikt namens "Das Teleskop", um herauszufinden, wo sich Goliath befindet. Doch ohne den von Logan Griff gestohlenen Alienkristall gibt es keine Hoffnung, das riesige Schiff zu besiegen.
