As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it.

[Book 3 of the ARC10 Trilogy] It has been five Earth years since the ten Alien Relocation Carriers (ARCs) abandoned their destroyed home planet. According to the plan, they should be approaching their final destination-the exoplanet NOHA. But Janika Lorn wouldn't know anything about that. She ditched her commanding position aboard ARC10 and the ARC caravan in exchange for a life of freedom under the often-infuriating employment of Captain Shin-Hyun Moon. With her young son and a burgeoning found family aboard the HMS Valediction, Janika finally eases into a happy life she never thought she could have. Her peace is disrupted by a mysterious SOS from Commander Dean Freyer, her previous partner, lover, and best friend on Earth. Despite the threat of losing all she's gained, she's sucked back into the ARCs' mission to expose the government's deadly lies. This time, instead of diving head-first without a plan, Janika concocts a scheme to steal away the entire refugee population and bring them aboard the floating fortress, the Starhold Vesta. With her partner, Nuna Kinnawah at her side, and her son safely stowed away in their home, Janika leads a mission to save the people of Earth from their forsaken fate at the hands of an inept president protected by a new, secret, lethal army, and an inhospitable new home planet. As if this mission wasn't already off to a doomed beginning, the violent space pirate, Strom, sets his greedy sights on commandeering the gold trade that keeps the HMS Valediction and Stronghold Vesta floating. With this new threat of bloodshed to her family and livelihood, Janika's must decide between saving her father and the people of her past, or securing the safety of her son and the future she had always dreamed of.
