A starship captain. 
A military officer. 
A rogue AI. 

It's been ten years since the end of the EXO war and Captain Abel Cain just wants to be done with it. In the dark places between systems, Abel and Zee - Abel's co-pilot - manage to eke out an existence free from military entanglements. When Echo Shade, the wily daughter of the Fleet Admiral, happens upon Abel's ship - The Kodiak - she brings him the news that forces him to reconsider his involvement. 

The EXOs are free again and war is on the horizon. In a race against time, Abel, Zee, and Echo must fight their way free of the EXOs and their minions. The trio must make it back to the Exodus Fleet Naval base before the EXO prime - the leader of the organic machines - can capture Abel and force him to reveal his secrets.
