Terra Nova was supposed to be a fresh start. It became a graveyard. Orion Steele is an engineer, not a soldier. He prefers the logic of a circuit board to the chaos of a battlefield. But when a terrifying alien force known as the Hive shatters the peace of humanity's newest colony, logic isn't enough to save his home. In a single night of fire and chittering shadows, Hope’s Landing falls. The Hive doesn't just kill; they harvest. Among those dragged into the dark is Mira, Orion’s wife. Left for dead and fueled by a cold, technical rage, Orion finds himself aboard the Valkyrie, a smuggler’s frigate with a skeleton crew. To save Mira, he must evolve. Using his engineering genius to turn tools into weapons and science into a strike force, Orion will hunt the Swarm across the stars. He fixed the colony's machines. Now, he's going to break the Hive.
