Still, nothing could have prepared him for the moment he and the crew tried to save his father . . . and discovered a dark plot that could destroy hundreds of worlds in the blink of an eye. Now Leo is adrift. His father has sent him on a mission with nothing but a data chip and a name of someone who could help, and Captain Bastian Black and the crew of the Icarus are determined to see this through to the end with Leo, to fulfill his father's wish and prevent further conflict.
