My name is Kane Hunter, and I never asked to become humanity's last line of defense.

It started with a strange feeling along Nevada's Extraterrestrial Highway—someone watching me. Within hours, my Harley was stolen, I was tossed into a ghost town's jail by a sheriff who wasn't quite human, and an old Paiute chief was whispering about ancient visitors from the stars.

Then I found the Theron—a dormant alien scout ship buried in the desert, waiting for someone with the right genetic markers. Someone like me.

Now I know the truth: an artificial intelligence called the Mindship has infiltrated Earth, using Area 51 as its foothold before a full-scale invasion from Tau Ceti. With a crew of unlikely aliens and androids, I’ll take the fight beyond the solar system’s edge—into enemy territory.

I'm no soldier, just a drifter with an unexpected legacy. But when humanity's survival is on the line, running isn't an option.
