Alana and Marko, two soldiers from warring alien worlds, continue to flee across the galaxy to protect their daughter, Hazel. In this volume, the narrative jumps several years forward, showing Hazel growing up in a high-security detention center while her parents work with unlikely allies to track her down. The story focuses on the mechanics of the tabloid media through the journalists Upsher and Wreath, while the bounty hunter The Will struggles with physical recovery and psychological hallucinations following his previous failures.
Readers of adult science fiction and space opera seek out this series for its blending of domestic family struggles with violent intergalactic politics. Fans of long-form graphic narratives appreciate how the book handles the practical realities of parenting, such as education and discipline, under the pressure of constant survival. The reader walks away with a blunt look at how systemic warfare divides families and the high personal cost of remaining a pacifist in a militarized universe.
