Two hundred years ago, a fleet of colony ships left Earth and started a settlement on Proxima Centauri. Centurion Space Force pilot Nathan Stacker didn't expect to return home to find his wife dead. He didn't expect the murderer to look just like him, and he definitely didn't expect to be the one to take the blame. But his wife had control of a powerful secret. A secret that stretches across the light years between two worlds and could lead to the end of both. Now that secret is in Nathan's hands, and he's about to make the most desperate evasive maneuver of his life.

A menacing wasteland. A destructive new weapon. A planet on the edge of catastrophe. Sheriff Duke can’t rest. There’s no time to slow down. The threats are unending. The enemy unyielding. If he wants to stop the apocalypse, he’ll have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the cannibals and murderers are the least of his worries, and the creatures infesting the landscape aren’t the most dangerous thing in his path. The race is on, the doomsday clock is counting down, and if he fails it will be more than his wife and child that are caught in the fallout. It’ll be the world.

For Sheriff Duke, the danger has reached the final countdown. Captured, tortured, beaten, but undefeated, it’s 60 seconds to midnight, and the only way to save his wife and daughter is through the fugitive he left home to hunt. But the real enemy isn’t what they seem, and the history of the forgotten Earth is about to be rewritten. Will any of it matter if there’s no one left to read it?

The Deliverance isn’t alone. That’s not a surprise. The planet was chosen for a reason. But the situation is more dire than Caleb ever imagined. The enemy he’s encountered isn’t the enemy he was seeking, and the conflict is expanding in ways he can barely conceive. Taken prisoner by an opponent both familiar and foreign, he’ll have to prove himself one more time.... Or watch everything he’s fought so hard to protect be destroyed.

The Deliverance has arrived. The planet is beautiful, lush, teeming with life and perfectly suited to the colony’s needs. It should be a paradise. Instead, it’s a nightmare. Caleb knows the truth. The ship’s real mission has nothing to do with settlement. The plan is much more sinister than that. Now the race is on to prepare for the coming storm, to secure the colony, and find the enemy before the enemy finds them. 

Interstellar colony ship Deliverance. Somewhere in deep space. The Deliverance is tragically off course, missing its rendezvous with the escaping fleet and leaving the survival of the colony in serious jeopardy. Pulled out of hibernation years too late, Caleb is thrown into the middle of the crisis and forced back into the fight. With the ship low on power and time running out, it's up to him to find some way, any way, to overcome an impossible situation and get the colony to safety. Otherwise, the only thing he'll be protecting is a tomb.
