Die Sonde New Horizons verschwindet auf der Höhe des Zwergplaneten Pluto am Rande des Sonnensystems spurlos. 2037 die Sonde New Horizons II erreicht den Pluto und geht ebenfalls auf mysteriöse Weise verloren. Zuvor sendet sie bestürzende Bilder von Resten einer außerirdischen Zivilisation auf dem Zwergplaneten zur Erde. Die bemannte Mission New Horizons III startet zum Pluto. Sie soll das Schicksal der Sonden aufklären und nach Spuren der Außerirdischen suchen. Doch die Astronauten stoßen auf ein uraltes kosmisches Grauen.

Beyond the borders of known space a Dark Fleet is gathering. Volka, 6T9, Carl Sagan, and their band of sentient faster-than-light ships are charged with finding the Dark's forces. But the enemy is closer than they realize, and the Dark's next strike will be sooner than they think. When the attack comes our heroes will be forced to evolve once more. Volka has become a true telepath. To fight the Dark, she must become a true leader as well.

Van's next mission has begun, and at the heart of it is the power to save lives. Meanwhile, a hungry galaxy looks to a brilliant young scientist for answers, making her the most wanted person in known space. After years of research, Adayluh Creel perfects a resource to feed sixteen races—or more—all with one golden plant capable of growing on the most hostile worlds. For her efforts, she wants nothing, but savage forces will seek to possess what she would give away for free, thus controlling the food source for billions of people.
