Yet introns account for ninety-five percent of human DNA. Why is such a huge proportion of the genome reserved for useless code?"What if all that genetic information wasn't really useless? What if it was put there by someone, something, in the impossibly distant past, for a purpose? And what if humanity's interest in understanding and engineering human DNA unlocks something that should have remained hidden?Award-winning science fiction author Umehara drags you screaming into a darker future as the monsters of our own genetic code come to life, revealing all too clearly humanity's fatal misunderstanding of its place in the universe... and its very reason for existence, weaving the Cthulhu Mythos, genetic engineering, and the battle against extinction into a masterpiece of horror.

However, with great blessings, the universe tends to follow with great misery. The Zalu superweapon had been uncovered thanks to the efforts of the Calyster and her crew, and when the weapon is deployed against the republic, the crew of the Calyster is quickly called back into service, as the republic finds herself at war with the Zalu Empire. Now retrofitted with the best gear that the republic can cover, the Calyster is sent on a secretive mission, a mission that may prove as eventful and important as the one that led the Calyster to Takalu.

The war with The Zalu Empire continues to rage across the galaxy, and the crew of The Calyster has no doubt that they will be sent on another wild mission.

But they do not know that this mission will have unexpected consequences, consequences that will change the face of the galaxy forever.

Can the Calyster find a potential friend in this ferocious Eranian wolf as the Zalu continue their relentless march towards Earth? Or does this wolf pose more of a danger to the republic than even the Zalu?
