We have waited generations for you...

Syd Chambers knows that there's life on other planets because he's descended from it. His father was from a distant world called Denza and has been missing--presumed dead--for years.

When Syd discovers a device his father left behind which shows not only that he's alive, but where he is, Syd must set out on a mission of his own. But along the way, he discovers a deadly, unbearable secret that could destroy Denza, Earth, and the universe.

Turns out, finding your long-lost alien dad is the easy part.

• A Universe of Hidden Powers: Syd's alien heritage comes with a few upgrades, like superhuman strength in the vacuum of space. But those same powers will slowly kill him if he ever returns to Earth.
• A Classic Space Opera: Board a training vessel full of oddball aliens, explore distant worlds, and uncover secrets that span galaxies.
• A Found Family of Misfits: From a wisecracking Vulpin assassin to a hulking Panalax who's obsessed with Earth movies, Syd's new crewmates are the only family he has in the Vastness.
• A Sarcastic Hero in Over His Head: Syd's been a fugitive his whole life, but nothing could prepare him for dogfighting starships, going head-to-head with ancient monsters, or discovering the truth about humanity's origins.
