Czy to koniec?Czy nowy początek…?Admirał Trevor Gray stoczył wiele bitew z obcymi, wielokrotnie pokazując im, że nie warto zadzierać z ludzkością. Teraz jego samego i dowodzony przez niego lotniskowiec gwiezdny „Ameryka” czeka nowe zadanie: z pomocą Konstantina, zaawansowanej sztucznej inteligencji, przemierzyć czas i przestrzeń, by dowiedzieć się, czy ludzkość rzeczywiście może osiągnąć osobliwość i jednocześnie uniknąć zagrożeń, z którymi zmagały się inne napotkane przez Ziemian międzygwiezdne cywilizacje.Są jednak tacy, których nie interesują odpowiedzi na te pytania i obchodzi ich jedynie walka o władzę.
