A new ship and a novice crew embark on their first mission to identify the source of a strange, apparently benign signal on the far side of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Learning its secrets and driven by fear of the unknown, what they discover will change the lives of countless civilizations forever.

Using the new ship’s ability to travel through time as a resource, the crew’s quest leads them to a loathsome, aggressive species that will stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

The crew’s determination is only heightened when they discover the very fabric of time has been affected by the signal, and their hatred and fears grow as they uncover who is responsible and the deadly reason why.

Can they be stopped?

Does the technology even exist to undo the colossal damage?

What will be the cost to the crew?

Facing an uncertain future, they struggle to cope under the immense strain and the realization that to succeed, they have to pay the ultimate price.

The fate of the universe itself is in their hands.
