A dilapidated space station. A mission she never saw coming. A fight for survival in a galaxy on the brink of war.

It’s the year 3025, and the wealthy elite can afford to alter their genes and create perfect versions of themselves. Ensign Cerys Skye is not so fortunate — she is a genetically unaltered Wild Type.

She’s also a decorated hero of the United Planets’ Space Force.

Assigned to an aged space station, Cerys is relegated to collecting junk littering low Earth orbit. Working on a clapped-out garbage collector isn’t how she planned to save the world. Towing massive balls of radiation and flinging them into the sun is 99 percent boredom and 1 percent panic, especially with a crew of bumbling misfits. But she’s loyal to the Force and her sister has no one else to look out for her, so she’ll soldier on regardless.

When the unexpected strikes, she uncovers traces of a cloaked ship nearby. The rebels are back and a new threat emerges. Extremists are siding with the rebels and they want the Moon’s precious water supply. Then they’ll take the Moon. But Cerys has been prepped for the most unlikely of missions, and she’s not just fighting for the Moon. She’s fighting for her people, and humanity’s very survival.
