A brave spaceship crew is drawn into the schemes of interplanetary powers battling for galactic domination in this epic space opera from the best-selling strategy board game Twilight Imperium.

Captain Felix Duval and the crew of the Temerarious quietly patrol a remote Mentak Coalition colony system where nothing ever happens. But when they answer a distress call from a moon under attack, that peaceful existence is torn apart. They rescue a scientist, Thales, who is developing revolutionary technology to create new wormholes. He only needs a few things to make it fully operational... and now, at the scientist's behest, the Temerarious is targeted by two rival black-ops teams bent on getting Thales back. Can Felix trust Thales? Or is this a conspiracy to forever tip the balance of power in the galaxy?
