Vast orbital stations the size of middle-sized countries dot the system, filled with thriving colonies. Mankind has grown to fill the void and poised to colonize the stars. The universe appears to be a stable, comfortable place-- and the only voices to echo through space have been human.
Until now.
Reckoning Infinity is a riveting exploration of what it means to be alien, and what it means to be human.
