For eight agonizing years, he was a prisoner inside his own body, forced to watch as a mysterious alien intelligence named "Ghost" used his hands to weld, engineer, and build an interstellar vessel out of junkyard parts. But when the Ghost suddenly releases him, Miles is left in the cockpit of the Coyote with broken bones, a frantic Homeland Security agent on his tail, and a desperate choice: face a military lock down or punch it into the unknown.

He chooses the stars.

But deep space isn't an empty void-it's a brutal frontier. After a devastating crash landing on a hostile world leaves his ship in pieces and his body near death, Miles is rescued by the Sylphs, an ancient, telepathic collective. Rebuilt by alien biology, Miles is no longer entirely human, discovering a latent power to adapt, shape shift, and manipulate kinetic energy.

He's going to need every bit of it.

With twelve Sylphs pinned down by a horde of armored, flesh-eating predators on a desert world, Miles must take the helm of a radically advanced new vessel. Armed with unique abilities and piloting a crew of alien survivors, a boy from Oklahoma is about to lead a high-stakes interstellar rescue mission.
