Something stirs in the darkness. Elm Caden, an operative of the Imperial Combine of Earth, has seen first-hand the mysterious force working against humanity. He now suspects the escalating conflict with the Viskr Junta is an error, and maybe even a deliberate distraction. With entire worlds falling silent, and rumours of vast ships prowling the dark space between them, only Caden and his allies stand between humanity and an unknown threat. While chaos spreads across the many worlds of the Imperial Combine, Elm Caden must discover the identity of their real enemy before anything truly terrible can happen. But something terrible is always waiting to happen... Following on directly from the climax of Steal from the Devil, the second volume of R. Curtis Venture's breakout series builds fruitfully on the foundations established in the first book. This veritable page-turner propels readers through the chaos of invasion, straight towards a savage final chapter.
