Four years of research, using the combined resources of five species of sentient beings, have brought Alicia MacGregor no closer to understanding how Humanity’s sibling species came into existence.

Fabulous sci-fi plot, wonderfully complex characters, absorbing read
This book continues the fascinating story of five space-faring races of aliens (to each other) uniting to fight a frighteningly destructive, common enemy. The story is full of action and surprises told through the personal perspectives and experiences of key characters the reader has come to know well and care about. Much that occurred in the previous three books sets the stage for the unfolding of this story, including an earth-shattering discovery at the end. I must read book 5 to learn how the story concludes.
I highly recommend this series, and strongly advise you to read it in order for maximum enjoyment.

How did humanity’s sibling species come into being? Finding the answer might help the alliance of humans and aliens defeat their common enemy, the Faceless. But as the enemy takes over one star system after another, they’d better hurry or resistance will be futile. What I like about this series is that it follows several main characters, and the action unfolds from their viewpoints. It humanizes the space battles and makes these stories memorable.

Another crazy good addition to Watson's sci-fi series. Fascinating scientific issues are getting developed at this point in the series. And you finally find out why it's called the "Second Iteration."
