The battle may be over, but the war is just beginning.
In the aftermath of the daring mission to free the people of Atophis from the clutches of the invading force, the survivors are now entering into an unknown. All the while, they continue to ask whether the outcome was worth the price. Thousands more are now dead even as dozens of alien species have been freed from the grasp of the Destroyers. In this new world where numerous questions abound, one continues to stand at the forefront:
Where is the one known as Jolis?
As the galaxy's first Force-wielder enters a new kind of trial, he must learn to overcome more than just his past if he is to succeed...and survive.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖
Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks.
When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind.
Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for.
Mahaha may or may not be alive.
