| Publisher Description: In the aftermath of a genocidal galactic invasion, a remotely isolated colony cut off from all sources of resupply must devise a desperate plan to save themselves from certain annihilation. With their last reserves of fuel and determination, they salvage and resurrect a centuries-outmoded spacecraft named Titan, providing it with a skeleton crew consisting of three novice young men led by two sage combat veterans. Their best hope for success resides in the ship's volunteer captain, Paladin, a genetically modified warrior descended from an elite race of martial experts. Cold, hard, and heavily experienced, she must lead them on a daring one-way voyage to the outer fringes of the galaxy in search of resources vital to the colony's survival. When they achieve their destination having expended the last of their fuel, Titan's crew discover and must confront the profound implications of an evil secret long concealed by the sinister Company, master of all human technology, employment and government within the galaxy. Before they can return home, they must somehow survive the shocking terrors that they discover hidden among the planets and moons of mysterious Deadfall. |
