Kate Morgan has had her memory wiped and has no idea of her true identity, her encounter with the monstrous Vu-Hak, or her relationship with humanity's presumed savior, Adam Benedict. But despite his apparent sacrifice, the portal has opened and the Vu-Hak are here on Earth in huge numbers.

The survivors of the Vu-Hak nuclear destruction of Earth have arrived in a distant galaxy, fifteen thousand years in the past. They have settled on a moon orbiting a gas giant in a binary star system: the world from which the Vu-Hak did—will—launch its murderous assault on Earth.

A rift in space now connects Earth to another galaxy. A result of the Cold War's secret nuclear arms race, hidden by scientists and US governments for half a century. Forgotten. But behind this portal lies an ancient and malevolent race, the Vu-Hak.
