The humans on planet Amular, along with the survivors of an alien race called the Loud face a hopeless battle; an ancient alien originating beyond the observable universe is coming, killing everything in their path. In one day, they destroy the Loud home world—a species a thousand years ahead of the humans. They come within a black hole the size of a small star system at .99999 the speed of light. The Loud claim that this ancient alien has reached the Omega level of advancement—journey’s end—they know everything.
The truth hidden…
To maintain morale, only the highest officials know how hopeless the upcoming battle is and that Amular is just a minor stopover on the all-knowing alien’s way to a much more devastating objective. While Amular struggles to come up with defenses, it also grapples with a powerful resistance movement that sees things in a completely different light. Their arguments seem unshakeable but the government’s hands are tied as they cannot release the devastating truth.
In the fog of war and chaos…
Something is not quite right. There are too many coincidences and the ancient alien does things that make no sense. As the humans and the Loud try to unravel these mysteries, the resistance continues to launch devastating attacks. Time runs out as the alien and the battle for Amular are upon them all.
