After doomsday
Synopsis
After the catastrophic destruction of Earth, two crews — one of men, one of women — are scattered across the galaxy, each fighting to survive and find their place in a new, alien-dominated order.
Carl Donnan, a resourceful officer on the men's ship, and Sigrid Holmen, the stoic navigator on the women's ship, are forced into a desperate war against the Vorlak, a warlike race that has risen to power in the wake of the Monwaing's arrival.
As Donnan and Sigrid navigate betrayal, loss, and the brutal realities of interstellar combat, they must confront the cost of their choices and the uncertain future of humanity's scattered remnants.
