A classic space opera - a smart, swashbuckling, wildly imaginative adventure featuring a rag-tag team of brilliant misfits, dangerous renegades, and enhanced outlaws in a war-torn future. Innovator Vivian Liao is prone to radical thinking, quick decision-making, and reckless action. On the eve of her greatest achievement, she tries to outrun people who are trying to steal her success. In the chilly darkness of a Boston server farm, Viv sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying instant later, Vivian Liao is catapulted through space and time to a far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than she could ever imagine. The end of time is ruled by an ancient, powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single thought. Viv must rally a strange group of allies to confront the Empress and find a way back to the world and life she left behind.
