In the year 15,329, humanity's final stronghold, Washington Station, becomes the epicenter of an extinction-level event. When an obsidian Kryll vessel breaches the hull, it isn't an act of war-it's a desperate flight from a cosmic nightmare. The collision of two ancient realms has birthed a parasitic Third World, an unstable dimension that is currently digesting the fabric of space and time. Chief of Security Kellan Brooks is trapped in a station that is no longer made of steel, but of pulsing, organic tissue. To survive, he must protect Dr. Aris Thorne, a man whose forbidden genetic research holds the only key to stopping a total reality collapse. But the enemy isn't just at the gates; the Nullspawn, pre-cosmic predators that feed on memories and timelines, are already inside. From the shadow cabals of the Obsidian Hand to the forbidden gates of planet Xantus, unlikely rebels Angel and David must forge a desperate alliance between humans, synthetics, and ancient alien races. As the station begins its terminal descent, the heroes face a choice that will echo across eons: find a way to end the war from within, or watch as the stars themselves are erased from history. The multiverse is screaming, and the silence is coming.
