The Earthers profess a kinship with all humans, and their great desire is to have Méridien join their United Earth (UE).Alex Racine journeys to Méridien to investigate and uncover the Earthers' intentions. In the Haraken world, SADEs (self-aware digital entities) have been freed from their boxes aboard the Méridien-built starships.

The Council Leader insists her people ignore the Earthers, but this path has costs. As tensions escalate, García sends a request for support to his superiors back on Earth, lest his discovery of the rich, Méridien worlds, boasting unbelievable advanced technology, slip through his grasp. A UE battleship heeds the call, escalating the pressure for action.Join the journey as the Harakens and Méridiens work together to protect their planets and their way of life from the newest invaders.
