Evan Marshall was a decorated Marine until a deadly mistake ended his career. Now he drifts between dead-end jobs and cheap motels, running from a guilt he canât escape. When his estranged sister dies, Evan heads home carrying more regret than hope, uncertain whether anything of his old life can still be salvaged.
A garage sale find. A cheap gift for the nephew who hates him. Thatâs all the toy starship was supposed to be. Instead, the simple peace offering opens the door to something far more unbelievable, extraordinary, and dangerous than he ever imagined.
Because the starship isnât a toy at all.
The discovery carries Evan beyond Earth and into a sprawling galaxy of distant worlds, ancient powers, and unfolding conflicts. But his initial wonder quickly gives way to desperate survival when he learns heâs not the only one who knows about the ship. Theyâve been searching for it for a long, long time, and thereâs nothing they wonât do to get it from him.
They say you can never go home again.
They were right.
