In the year 2745, the mothership Cycleturn drifts through the silent expanse of the universe, carrying fifteen thousand souls toward a future they can barely imagine. Lead science officer Amorna Vantress, a triple-hybrid alien born of ancient lineages, holds the key to the ship's quantum fusion engine-and perhaps to the survival of every species on board. But the void of darkspace is not as empty as it seems. When the Cycleturn suddenly grinds to a halt in a region of absolute nothingness, Amorna is plagued by terrifying visions of an ancient presence-a shadow from the era of Earth's terrorforming that has waited ten thousand years for revenge. This ethereal enemy doesn't just want to destroy the ship; it wants to erase the timeline itself. As Captain Shineoff leads an elite security force into the decaying lower decks to confront the manifestation, Amorna must bridge the gap between science and spirit. With the help of the robotic clone 1212 and the towering engineer BoboOm, she will face a darkness that feeds on memory and fear. From the ruins of a post-apocalyptic Earth to the edge of the multiverse, the crew must fight a war across time. Can their bond of hope stop the invasion, or will the Cycleturn become a silent tomb in the darkspace? Raymond Bradley delivers an epic saga of genetic destiny, cosmic war, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
