The last installment in the Star Carrier series, where first contact, space opera, and military adventure combine, from New York Times bestselling author Ian Douglas!
Will this be the end?

Or a new beginning...

Having battled aliens to prove humanity's worth as a star-faring species, Admiral Trevor Gray has a new mission: follow the directives of the super-AI Konstantin and lead the star carrier America on a mission through time and space to determine if humanity can truly transcend into Singularity... and avoid the pitfalls that have plagued so many of the aliens Earth has encountered since it gained faster-than-light travel.

But there are those out there who don't want an answer, who wish to maintain their own power with the status quo. Beyond the dangers of star travel, Gray must contend with politicians looking to end the influence of artificial intelligence on human decisions, a secret fleet out to destroy him, hostile aliens, and the vast, uncharted space full of clues but short on answers.

A species must evolve to survive into the future. But that species must have a vision of the future. Gray hopes to find that vision for humanity...800,000 years in the past.

      The ninth and final entry in Douglas' Star Carrier series (after Bright Light, 2018) is a riveting, fast-paced thrill ride, merging multiple thematic elements in a page-turning book that covers both physical and existential threats to humanity. Admiral Trevor Gray is enlisted by his friends, Alexander Koenig, the former president and ex-admiral of the US Naval Academy, and Konstantin, the Super-AI who actually runs most of the near Earth day-to-day infrastructure, to discover what happened to the mysterious alien race, the Sh'daar, in the far-distant past. Humanity is on the cusp of the technological Singularity, transcending to the next iteration of consciousness, and eons ago, the Sh'daar went through their own transformation, leaving behind decidedly antitechnological Remainers. But the current USNA president is a firm believer that humankind already experienced the Singularity with the development of the internet in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. A breakneck tale of political, technological, and sociological intrigue, brimming with both space battles and introspection.
