Revelations, astonishing truths, and surprise allies set Earth on a path to salvation... or destruction. Lt. Jace Quinn went AWOL from Earth Force when he could no longer resolve his rank with his conscience. He fought for Phoenix from the shadows. Then he was assumed dead in the mission that freed Michael Tanner and other humans held as lab rats. He saved lives but left his wife a widow and his unborn child fatherless. Doctor Lilly Quinn barely had time to process the loss of her husband when war arrived. In the chaos of survival, she became a mother. She was resolved to the idea of raising her daughter without Jace. But her husband is home. He is alive, but in body only. His mind is trapped in the past; a past where she didn't exist. She must find a way to help her husband remember the life he left behind. The enemy is at the gate, and it's time to prepare for battle. Can she bring him home just to let him fight again?
