Five hundred years in the future, humanity has left the Earth behind and explored the stars. Humans colonized planets and encountered intelligent alien life in the vastness of space beyond our solar system. Some of the aliens are friendly. One of them is most definitely not.

Mark Martin is a fighter pilot defending his homeworld from an alien invasion. The Erethizon are a fanatical alien race bent on galactic domination. As his homeworld is overrun, Mark Martin escapes with the only ride off-planet - gun runners. Forced to leave their father behind, Mark and his sister Sophie vow to return to rescue him. But first, they’ll have to rescue themselves.

It's a race across the stars as Mark and Sophie try desperately to stay one step ahead of the alien menace. Can they find friends and allies before they suffer a fate worse than death: brainwashed pawns for religious zealots bent on galactic power.
