She is definitely not interested in visiting her mom's office, even if Director Harlow works at the famous Area 51. But when an alarm sounds beneath the secret base and a whole race of aliens escape, she's about to get much more than she bargained for. Viv, Charlotte, Ray, and Elijah (who Viv is totally not crushing on) will have to work together, gear up with gadgets, and even protect a baby alien.

Les portes se sont ouvertes et les humains se ruent pour coloniser un millier de planètes. La première d'entre elles, Ilus, est baptisée dans le sang et la destruction. Des colons indépendants venus chercher une nouvelle vie se dressent avec leurs faibles moyens contre la puissance écrasante d'un vaisseau appartenant à une compagnie gigantesque ; celle-ci est bien décidée à exploiter les riches gisements de minerais, et des scientifiques innocents périssent alors qu'ils tentaient simplement d'étudier et de comprendre ce monde nouveau.

Presque trente ans après la fin de la guerre et l'anéantissement de la Flotte libre, l'humanité a retrouvé un semblant d'ordre et de stabilité. La Terre et Mars ont reformé leur coalition et se relèvent progressivement, tant sur le plan économique que militaire. L'Union des transports, l'organisme ceinturien chargé de réguler les échanges commerciaux entre les différents systèmes, tient un rôle essentiel au sein de l'Univers connu. Dans ce contexte, Holden, capitaine fraîchement retraité, s'imaginait bientôt couler des jours paisibles sur Titan.

La révolution qui sévit depuis des générations a commencé dans le feu. Elle finira dans le sang. La Flotte libre - un groupe de Ceinturiens versé dans le trafic de vaisseaux militaires - a fait subir d'innombrables revers à la Terre et mène désormais une violente campagne de piraterie au sein des planètes extérieures contre les vaisseaux colons. James Holden et son équipage connaissent mieux que personne les forces et les faiblesses de cet ennemi intraitable.

Depuis qu'elle a découvert des milliers de nouvelles planètes, l'humanité s'est lancée dans la plus grande ruée vers les terres de son histoire. Des vaisseaux colons disparaissent mystérieusement sans laisser la moindre trace. Des armées privées se forment en secret. Le dernier échantillon existant de la protomolécule est volé. Des attaques terroristes inimaginables auparavant mettent à genoux les planètes intérieures.

Pendant des générations, le système solaire - Mars, la Lune, la ceinture d'astéroïdes - fut la grande frontière de l'humanité. Jusqu'à maintenant. Un objet non identifié opérant sous les nuages de Vénus est apparu dans l'orbite d'Uranus, où il a construit une porte massive qui mène à un hyperespace désolé.

Sur Ganymède, un sergent des Marines de Mars assiste au massacre de sa section d'élite par un supersoldat monstrueux. Sur Terre, une personnalité politique de haut rang s'évertue à éviter un conflit interplanétaire. Sur Vénus, la protomolécule extraterrestre a investi la planète entière, générant des bouleversements mystérieux qui menacent tout le système solaire.
