A routine training exercise goes badly wrong when his squad of cadets is pulled into one of the bloodiest engagements of the conflict. Official records list them all as dead, and that lie becomes the start of a different kind of war. Caleb and his companions are recruited into a secret special operations unit, where they undergo risky experimental augmentation that turns them into enhanced soldiers. Their mission is to strike behind enemy lines.
Now Caleb must decide how much of his humanity he is willing to surrender. When the Tahni threaten Canaan itself, he has to choose between his career and the family that rejected him.
