Lost on a brutal alien world of dinosaurs, rebels, and empires built on stolen god-tech, Jack is cut off from Earth, from his allies, and from the woman he loves. But survival is the easy part. Archon Draven is still alive. Still plotting. And now he's found something far worse than an army...an emperor as competent and ruthless as he is. As Jack fights his way through an unfamiliar war, Lisa Cantrell races to rebuild impossible technology to bring him home—before Draven uses it to enslave worlds, including Earth itself. One man stranded. One enemy unleashed. And a galaxy that's about to learn why letting humans get involved was a terrible mistake.
