A signal beneath the Great Sphinx has been waiting more than ten thousand years to be heard.
When geophysicist Daniel Mercer detects an impossible seismic pulse originating beneath Giza, he uncovers an ancient warning left for humanity—a warning of an enemy that has returned to finish what it began thousands of years ago.
The Harvesters are coming.
They have crossed the stars before, stripping entire worlds of intelligent life. Earth survived their last visit only by chance. This time, humanity has eleven months to prepare.
But an ancient alien civilisation has also returned. They cannot fight humanity's enemy themselves, but they can provide something Earth has never possessed: a warship capable of taking the battle into deep space.
A scientist, twelve pilots and an alien intelligence become humanity's first—and perhaps last—line of defence.
The enemy has harvested thousands of worlds.
This time, the harvest fights back.
