Unearthing the past could destroy the future. Fin Brooks races against time itself.

When the Rot spreads to an Accord-protected planet, Yormanth, Ranger Fin Brooks and the ragtag Black Sheep crew plunge into action. But what begins as a mission to save one world quickly spirals into an ancient mystery that threatens the entire galaxy.

Old criminal rivals are already a step ahead of Fin and the Rangers. They know what lies buried beneath treacherous jungles, prehistoric alien ruins, and deep, subterranean oceans teeming with dangerous secrets.

Echoes of the past haunt the galaxy. History threatens to repeat.

Battling murderous monsters, outsmarting devious enemies, and somehow keeping his ship—and sanity—intact, Fin must unlock the secrets of a long-lost civilization before it's too late. The fate of worlds hangs in the balance, and failure isn't just death—it's extinction.

Book 5 of this rollicking sci-fi adventure from Anthony J. Melchiorri. It's perfect for fans of JN Chaney, MR Forbes, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
