With the planet’s fighting men and women deployed across the galaxy – battling in the noble cause of enslaved humanity – the insidious Xul have reached across space to devastate the unsuspecting Earth with asteroid fire. Without warning, a once majestic world is reduced to near-rubble – and the very future of humankind is in dire jeopardy. Interplanetary leaders are on the brink of abandoning Earth and its colonies to an overwhelming enemy. But Brigadier General Garroway of the Marine Interstellar Expeditionary Unit is unwilling to concede defeat – not as long as there’s a single marine willing to give his or her life in defense of their embattled homeworld. The ultimate battle is about to be waged – with breathtaking new attack technology, an ancient code of courage, and the help of an ally race that once inhabited the Earth – in a war that will alter the universe forever….

The revelations on Mars – a half-million year-old legacy of the vanished star-traveling Builders – have fed the flames of catastrophic war. A beleaguered United States and its Russian and Japanese allies struggle to hold their own against the indomitable forces of the enemy United Nations. The bloody conflict that has swept over the home planet now rages across the blackness of space – with the U.S. Marine Corps in the vanguard, leading the charge as always. But Mars is not the sole repository of alien wonders. The Earth’s moon hides unsettling mysteries of its own – and dangerous secrets pointing toward an unstoppable threat advancing from somewhere beyond the solar system. And as scientists on both sides race to utilize technology they have only barely begun to comprehend, the UN makes the opening move in a gambit that could end the hostilities quickly and decisively by bringing about the death of millions…without the aid of alien-inspired weaponry. A bad situation worsens by the nanosecond. And that means it’s time to call in the Marines – to make a life or death stand on the gray shores of Luna.

2040: Ruins of ancient civilization uncovered on Mars reveal startling truths about the creation of humankind. 2042: In the gray dust of the Earth’s Moon, an extinct enslaving race left behind more answers, more questions…and a grim warning. 2067: As Earth’s warring factions clash in space for scraps of alien technology, a strange artifact lies trapped beneath the ice-locked oceans of Europa: a machine that holds the key to the final human destiny. It is called “The Singer” for the eerie tone it emits. An artificial intelligence built eons ago, it may ultimately solve the mystery of the vanished alien races responsible for the birth and development of humanity. But after decades of war, the hostile nations of Earth care more for power than for knowledge. And now all that stands between the coveted Al and an all-out Chinese assault is a vastly outnumbered contingent of U.S. marines, dug in beneath the baleful red eye of Jupiter. As terrifying events light years distant begin to converge – with confrontation imminent and annihilation inevitable – a secret history of creation and doom must at long last be contended with…if humankind is to finally claim its glorious heritage among the stars.
