Legacy - Book 6
The Fates of Time
They helped end a war by putting everything on the line. Now they're being hunted by their own fleet for a crime they didn't commit.
William Jackson and his crew should be heroes.
Instead, an unidentified Ancient warship attacked retreating Imperium forces—and left evidence pointing directly to Jackson.
Someone has framed him.
And Jackson and his crew have only one option.
Run.
For two months they've stayed one step ahead of the GCH Fleet. But their luck is running out.
Desperate for answers, they journey to the Nesperian Belt and a notorious space station that's become a refuge for criminals, pirates, and underworld thugs.
But it has the one thing Jackson desperately needs:
Information.
There, Jackson learns of a bounty, nearly a century old, on a mysterious figure known only as the Firstborn. A dangerous man who may hold the answers they've been searching for.
With GCH forces closing in and no way to prove their innocence, Jackson and his crew have a new mission:
Find the Firstborn. Clear their names.
But the search for the Firstborn leads Jackson toward a mystery far greater than the one that made them fugitives.
Evidence begins to emerge that the Phague—the ancient enemy believed to have been annihilated hundreds of thousands of years ago—may not be extinct after all.
And if the Phague survived, then everything Jackson thought he knew about the fall of the Ancients may be wrong.
Searching for answers takes the crew across the galaxy, through uncharted Reptilian space, to a world that shouldn't exist.
The farther they travel, the deeper they delve into a forgotten conflict whose consequences have been shaping civilizations for longer than humanity has existed.
Ancient sites, desperate battles, and secrets buried by civilizations long dead begin revealing a history far more complicated than the one Jackson thought he knew.
The past has been lying to him.
And somewhere within that past may lie the truth about the Firstborn, the forces that brought Jackson to the future, and why they have been hunting him for so long.
To clear his name, Jackson must uncover the truth.
But some truths have been buried for a reason.
