AGAINST ALL ODDS, THEY'VE DONE IT. For the first time in history, human and raknoth stand united against the doom coming to swallow them all whole. Okay. On second thought, "united" is probably a strong word. Turns out, mutual fear of galaxy-conquering super monsters does not a steadfast alliance make. Especially not between the people of Earth and the very creatures who devastated it. So yeah. Problems... moreAGAINST ALL ODDS, THEY'VE DONE IT.

Turns out, mutual fear of galaxy-conquering super monsters does not a steadfast alliance make. Especially not between the people of Earth and the very creatures who devastated it. So yeah. Problems. Especially when Galaxy-Conquering Super Monster #1 arrives on the scene, cutting down raknoth like scaly weeds and telepathically devolving the armies of Earth into little more than frenzied hordes of wild animals. Harvest is falling. And if Jarek and Rachel want to see their planet survive the week, they have one hell of an immortal, planet-killing monster to take down...

THE VICTORY WAS HOLLOW. Too hard-fought. Too short-lived. Now, scattered and hunted by the monstrous rakul, Rachel and Jarek must do everything they can to protect their friends and keep their brewing Enochian weapons safe long enough for one slim chance at turning the tides. But first, they have to find each other. And with no comm network to speak of and a squadron of galaxy-class killers on their tails, nothing is quite so simple. Harvest has fallen... moreTHE VICTORY WAS HOLLOW. Too hard-fought. Too short-lived.
