But when Max awakens, something feels off. As he uncovers secrets buried deep within the ship, Max begins to question everything he's been taught about the mission, the ship's purpose, and even his place in society.
With time running out and the truth more dangerous than he could have imagined, Max must decide: follow the rules, or risk everything to find out exactly what is happening on board?

A secret war. An empire in crisis. One final hope for victory. Wil Sietinen is driven by duty.
