Oblivion's Galaxy - The Complete Trilogy / Oblivion's Galaxy (ePub)

First Lieutenant Shaara was dead this morning.

Her captain is furious at her. She wasted company resources getting herself killed, and it's coming out of her paycheck. Now, she's sitting across from the first other human being she's seen in six years. His name is Adnan. He claims to come from Earth-but that's impossible. Earth died a long time ago. If Adnan's telling the truth, he and the decaying ship the captain pulled him off are nearly a thousand years old.

Wherever he's from, he's Shaara's responsibility now. Which is the last thing she needs. But it's either that, or the captain sells Adnan into slavery. Shaara knows what that would mean. Most humans do. And something inside her won't let her abandon Adnan to it: revenant memories, stabbed awake by the look in his eyes.

Facing those memories won't be easy. It'd be far easier to ignore the feeling driving her forward. Far easier to let it all go to hell, and drift back to sleep.

Until a shadowy new faction starts stoking the fires of war. They're looking for Adnan; Earth's last survivor holds the key to unleash a terrible, indiscriminate vengeance on the galaxy that wronged them. Who they are is a mystery-to everyone but Shaara. Hard as she's tried to forget, she knows them all too well. Which means she's the only one who can stop them.

The question is: does she want to? Maybe the galaxy's earned a little vengeance.
