The voluminous amount of danger they had faced and overcame without wilting under the pressure—had proven to be one of the great joys of his life. Simply put... the good doctor had taught them well. His once neophytes had gone above and beyond the call of duty—surpassing even his wildest dreams. With the Kethyrian interplanetary conflict behind them, so begins an unexpected phase of listlessness and monotony, that leaves more than a few members of the crew wondering what their purpose might be moving forward. When a person has literally spent years fighting for their survival, is it even possible to enjoy the peace that comes from being victorious? Unfortunately, for the Red Rover team, that existential question gets pushed to the backburner as a new problem has arisen within their ranks—that threatens to unravel everything they have fought so hard to protect. Pressed back into the great unknown, on a race against time itself, the crew risks everything to stave off the unimaginable. On this mission, failure is not an option.
