What's right is right. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from monitoring, went on with their lives.

Durante décadas, essa frase permeou o dia a dia de todos os habitantes da megalópole Seattle-Portland, controlada pelo regime autoritário da Delegação. A maior forma de controle, no entanto, vinha do Insight, um implante ocular que permitia acompanhar tudo o que era feito e dito pelos cidadãos, punindo os que saíam das regras e recompensando os que as seguiam. Mas isso foi há muito tempo: uma revolução tirou a Delegação do poder, libertando todos da vigilância do Insight.

Resonance. It's a given on the ice planet, forced upon you by the parasitic symbiont called the "khui". With resonance, a guy and a girl are paired up because they'll make great babies. It's a survival mechanism necessary for this sparsely populated world we're stranded on. Everyone expects resonance to happen when 20 newcomers are dropped onto the frosty world.

Someone tried to kill Kerri Ward. Bad move. They shot her father. Next, they came for her. Now, it's my turn to kill them. And I'm not a merciful man.

I'm the next in line for Fyrifirar Tribe Jarl, a skilled warrior, and definitely not good at chopping down trees.

My studies in theology didn't prepare me to deal with angels from outer space. They're real. They fly. And in their elevated arrogance, they don't think they need anyone's help. So, imagine my surprise when the shy but hunky Zakai asks for my assistance in locating Noah's ark. Apparently, it's not just a religious myth. The massive ship did exist, and it looks like humanity might need it if they're going to survive an incoming invasion. As we work to uncover the mystery, we're stymied by opposing forces doing everything they can to stop us.
