It’s father versus son on Earth’s war-torn streets as Thomas Bruin faces the Oort Worldkiller and his invading army. With no better choice, Bruin suits up for a final stand, fully aware he may not survive—and maybe not wanting to. Victory means confronting a lifetime of lies and betrayals; failure means planetary extinction. For once, Bruin stops thinking about his reputation and focuses solely on saving Earth, no matter the cost. And if he’s lucky, he might finally die the hero he spent years pretending to be. The fate of the world hinges on a battle written in blood.
