It’s the edge of the universe.
Now it’s collapsing—and taking everyone and everything with it.
The only ones who can stop it are the Sentinels—the recruits, exiles and court-martialed dregs of the military.
At the Divide, Adequin Rake commands the Argus. She has no resources, no comms—nothing, except for the soldiers no one wanted. Her ace in the hole could be Cavalon Mercer—genius, asshole, and exiled prince who nuked his grandfather’s genetics facility for “reasons.”
She knows they’re humanity’s last chance.
Adequin Rake is a Sentinel, commanding a group of disgraced soldiers, monitoring the Divide, which separates our universe from a dark matter one. Suddenly, the Divide starts approaching, threatening to destroy everything. But no-one is listening to her calls for back-up, so she has to assemble the crew and solve the problem herself. Then help comes from the most unexpected source.
This is a fun space opera romp, with some risible cosmology, lots of action, interesting aliens, and impressive technology. There's one obvious big clue, and some awkward info-dumping, but on the whole this does not go in obvious directions. It has a satisfactory ending, but there is more to do in this universe; I'm off to buy the next one in the series.
