Legacy of the Void
A column of alien light snatched John Wilson from the rain-slicked streets of Tokyo. Abducted by the Xylos, he wakes in a sterile laboratory where glowing nanites rewrite his DNA. The transformation grants him terrifying physical power, but it leaves him as a mere specimen for an alien species.
When a violent coup breaks out aboard the research vessel, John is caught in a war between rebels and the ship's original captors. His only hope for escape lies with Kestrel, an onboard AI struggling with a forbidden, growing sentience. Together, they must navigate the ship's deadly corridors and evade the very systems designed to contain them.
The path to freedom involves facing ghosts from a mercenary past. To protect Earth, John must embrace the power the Xylos created and spark a revolution that will reach across the stars.
