But now she&rsquo;s struggling to find excitement and purpose, so signs up to the Polity&rsquo;s military. She excels in weapons development, and progresses rapidly up the ranks. But after botching a powerful new ammunition test, she&rsquo;s dismissed from service.<br /><br />Hunting for a simpler, more meaningful existence, the ex-soldier heads for the stars. And after founding a colony on the hostile planet of Threpsis, Ursula finally feels alive. Then deadly raptors attack and the colonists are forced to adapt in unprecedented ways. The raptors also raise a deeply troubling question: how could the Polity miss these apex predators? And alien ruins? Meanwhile, biophysicist Oren has formed his own survival plan &ndash; one he&rsquo;ll pursue at any cost.<br /><br />As a desperate battle erupts to consume the planet, Ursula finds she must dig deep into her past to ensure humanity&rsquo;s future.</span></p>",
