The book follows the progress of the survey vessel Kepler as it visits previously uncharted systems in the verge, then ventures into the Lightning Nebula. In these pages you'll encounter: More creatures from the depths of the planet Bluefall in the Aegis system. The gigantic spaceborne organisms that live in the Lightning Nebula. The artificially evolved denizens of the planet Fatehpur - and the nanites responsible. Creatures and aliens depicted in the STAR*DRIVE novels Zero Point and Two of Minds. Astonishing, terrifying, beautiful, or deadly, the creatures in this book can inject a fresh dose of excitement and wonder into any ALTERNITY game setting.
