October 2022, eight weeks after first contact, the people of Earth are handling the news of extra-terrestrial life rather well. Sure, there'd been some petty rioting, light stockpiling, and hasty coups, but not more so than during the pandemic.
In Oxfordshire, tourists flock to the exclusion zone set up around the crashed battle-station. Nearby, in the newly named RAF Space Command, Harold Godwin has settled into his new job as a liaison between the British government and the friendly alien federation, known as the Valley. Aside from giving occasional tours to visiting dignitaries, the work isn't arduous until the search for a missing dog leads to the capture of a hostile alien mercenary.
In Ireland, on the outskirts of Cork, an international conference has begun. The diplomats have been tasked with selecting twenty people to represent Earth on a ceremonial trip to Towan III. After two months of bickering, they're still arguing over the conference's seating arrangements.
Patience among the Valley leadership is wearing thin. In the intergalactic borderlands between the Valley and the remains of the old empire, the Voytay, two fleets are in a stand-off. The Voytay have denied any involvement in the Oxfordshire Incident, but Earth is increasingly looking like the spark that will reignite the century-old conflict. The only hope for peace is to find the remaining enemy agents, both human and alien. That task falls to Sean O'Malley and Greta tol Hakon. Not long into the investigation, a link is found between the recent attack and the discovery of a spaceship on the outskirts of London in 1895, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and a tunnel beneath the ruins of Nineveh that predates any calendar.
Alien anchorites and ancient prophecies collide, on Earth and in the furthest corners of the galaxy, as the race to stop the war continues.
