Why has there been not a single word from them, especially during the Legion's time of need? To answer these questions, the Legion must travel from one galaxy to another to gather information. But can they keep their mission a secret from enemy forces long enough to discover the truth?:- Review(s): "Absolutely riveting" - Locus / "Complex plots, intrigue, and great descriptive narratives of battle and combat" - SF Site / "Bunch knows how to mold heroes.
