Third Person

"15 years ago, we were awakened...from the cryo-trays. We had survived the journey to Hiigara, our lost homeworld. Then they told us that the planet we left behind had been destroyed. Our families...friends...everyone not on the mothership -- killed. Destroyed by an enemy we never knew.

"We realized there was nothing for us on Hiigara. No property, no rights, no future for the 'Sleepers.' So we returned to the stars, fully awake this time, to work and rebuild our lives.

"It is ironic, then, that we are the ones to discover an alien capable of exterminating all life in the galaxy. And only we are in a position to destroy it." -Box blurb
