Absolute Annihilation

Earth has fallen! The looming threat of infection has finally slithered out of the Dark Pillar hitting humanity first. Still reeling from the loss of several old friends and being disavowed, Lance abandons his home world, turning to a weary galaxy for help. Once among the stars it becomes clear that humanity isn't the only race being attacked. The Cytes have started a full-scale invasion of every known race. With survivors crowding into what few sanctuaries are left, Lance and his team resort to negotiations and favors to build enough strength to repel the threat or face extinction. Join the crews of the Obsidian Nightbird and Gladius as they uncover more secrets of the ancient Predecessor race and search for the thing commanding the Cytes. Fighting insanity as it mounts the crews will dive into the Dark Pillar of the galaxy, and face the hard truth that not everyone will be coming home.
