Among the stars, humanity encountered the Fallers, a strange alien race bent on nothing short of genocide. It’s all-out war, and humanity is losing.
In this fragile situation, a new planet is discovered, inhabited by a pre-industrial race who experience “shared reality”—they’re literally compelled to share the same worldview.

For one of the planet’s moons is really a huge mysterious artifact of the same origin as the star gates…and it just may be the key to winning the war.

A strange artifact has been discovered on a distant planet, an artifact that may be the key to humanity’s salvation. For we at war with the Fallers, an alien race bent on nothing short of genocide, and this is a war we are losing.
