After years on the run, Joel, Max and Sam have spent a peaceful year living on Arcadia. Now their idyllic life is about to be thrown into disarray as Prime Bradley asks them to join Striker Force Raptor on a MOSAR mission to the jungles of Hikaru – a planet tidally locked to its host star, Daisuke. The objective – find a missing prisoner transport starship and rescue any survivors. For Joel, it’s a chance to put his parents’ killers in jail for life. For Sam, it’s a chance to find her missing father. But Hikaru proves to be a perilous environment, so when a mysterious toxin sends the highly trained striker force team into chaos, Joel and Sam are faced with terrifying life and death decisions. They say it’s always darkest before dawn, but in the jungles of Hikaru, under the perpetual light of Daisuke, a psychotic creature lurking in the shadows is about to prove things can always get worse.

For years, the ‘ghost ship’ – a monolithic Timberwolf starship – has been hidden from time. Now it’s about to reappear and Striker Force Raptor have been assigned to retrieve the vessel and return it to its rightful owners, once they’ve deciphered its incredibly advanced technology.

Striker Force Raptor have faced tough assignments before but never an invisible killer that threatens their survival by the second. Joel has to figure out why the ghost ship’s crew and their entire planet’s civilisation have been decimated. Forced to trace the culprit back to another planet – Blackrock, home of a most-wanted war criminal known for his psychopathic cruelty – Joel is about to face his worst nightmare. He and Sam may have been lucky to survive their last twelve missions with Strike Force Raptor, but on mission thirteen, has his luck finally run out?
