The war against OURANIA was only the beginning A generation has passed since the fall of OURANIA, the Artificial Superintelligence that nearly destroyed humanity. The solar system has recovered, and Terra finally stands on the verge of unification. At Alpha Centauri, explorers from the Crandall Foundation make a stunning discovery-one which could shake the foundations of everything we believe about our origins and place in the cosmos. But as one mystery unfolds across the stars, a new threat rises closer to home. OURANIA's synthetic soldiers-the Omnisynths-have returned. Self-aware and lethal, they have not come alone. From the sands of Mars to the edges of known space, familiar heroes join a new generation in an epic saga of interstellar war, first contacts, and cosmic discovery. Along the way, two souls find a love that defies the boundaries of time and space.

Join humanity's climb up the long ladder as we journey Beyond Centauri.
