The Void Between

The journey home is never a straight line.

Admiral Ulysses has blinded the Eye and earned Poseidon's wrath. Now every jump point, every station, every inhabited world has eyes watching for the man who defied the gods. With his crew still frozen in data suspension and the Odyssey barely holding together, Ulysses must cross the most dangerous territory in known space.

The Underworld awaits - a realm between dimensions where the dead remember and prophecy has a price. A blind prophet named Tiresias will show him the way home. The cost: six of his crew, sacrificed to a monster called Scylla who was human once, before a jealous goddess tore that away.

But the void between stars holds deeper mysteries. Echo carries data 12,000 years old in her processors - secrets about the gods that could change everything. Thea Sato's origins are more dangerous than anyone suspects. And on Ithaca Station, Penelope wages a shadow war against the Suitor houses, weaving schemes as intricate as any of her husband's strategies.

As Ulysses navigates sirens, sorceresses, and the ghosts of everyone he failed to save, he discovers that Poseidon's vendetta is merely one thread in a conspiracy spanning millennia. The gods aren't what they claim to be. The Trojan War was only the beginning. And the commander who outwitted Troy may have been a pawn from the very start.

The void between worlds is vast. The void between truth and lies is infinite.
