Hope

The second installment of a gripping LitRPG space opera about bonds that transcend the line between man and machine – and galactic politics, culminating in a mission into the heart of an organic empire, where nothing is what it seems. Being a Primar means protecting the galaxy. Even from itself. Petr and his crew aboard the cruiser New Dawn may have repelled the invasion of the organic Zhri'kaa race on Earth, but the real war for the galaxy is just beginning. Data recovered from the wreckage reveals a terrifying reality: the enemy has already devoured a third of the galaxy and wiped out tens of thousands of civilizations. Yet beyond their impenetrable front lines lies a glimmer of hope – for centuries, someone out there has been resisting the Zhri'kaa, and succeeding. But before Petr sets out into the unknown, he has to get his own house in order. First, he must free the human slaves in a pirate system and overcome a stubborn Galactic Alliance that refuses to use his advanced technology even for its own defense. Meanwhile, the mysterious Triarchate of Shadow is exploiting the rampant chaos, bringing its own dark Primars into play. Time is running out. The New Dawn must embark on a suicide mission across the enemy empire with a single goal: to make contact with the unknown resistance and save the galaxy from total assimilation.
