The cure to the Rot may save the galaxy—or destroy it.

As the mysterious Rot devours worlds, the Ranger Corps is losing its fight to protect the Accord's citizens. Now an even greater threat looms: Hrawnor Deg, a ruthless criminal mastermind, is on the verge of unlocking Omnipotent—an ancient technology with the rumored power to rewrite life itself.

Fin and the crew of the Black Sheep are all that stand between Deg and godlike power. Racing across the stars with his unique team—including Audrey, an AI whose curiosity matches her combat skills—Fin forges dangerous alliances with revolutionaries, religious zealots, and even fellow Rangers who might literally bite his head off.

But while he expects death-defying space combat, dangerous back-stabbing alien civilizations, and an inordinate number of ridiculous questions from Audrey, he isn’t ready for the impossible choices he must make. The balance of life and death is closer to Fin’s control than he can ever imagine.

In a universe where everyone wants to play God, no one’s ready for the consequences.
