Many of us have had the occasional vague suspicion that the universe is not just a massive vacuum with a few specks of burning hydrogen here and there.

We also have our doubts about the various ‘truths’ we are told at school, or at work, regarding the nature of reality and the power systems which underpin our world. Especially as this ‘truth’ appears to have been created to serve the wealthy and powerful.

Some are prepared to fight – to lay down their lives if necessary for the one chance to reveal the lies lurking behind the so-called 'truth'.

Not Mitch Kuiper though: a man of simple tastes and little ambition, who would rather drink beer and watch sport with his best mate Cam than involve himself in the struggle.

Unfortunately, fate has other plans for Mitch as he finds himself drawn into a galactic war in which he has become a key player.
