With the Malor sidelined for now, Malia, Jaden, and the rest of Collective must face an even greater threat: the Anunnaki. Freed from their prison, they're feeding on helpless victims to satiate the hunger of an age. And on top of that, the Collective discovers a parasitic organism growing on people's brainstems in the cities decimated by the Malor. Realizing they're no match for their new foes, Malia and Jaden seek the aid of a potential ally who went into hiding long ago--and ultimately go on a search for the mythical Founders, who may be the only beings in the galaxy capable of overpowering the Anunnaki. If you like fast-paced, sci-fi thrillers, you'll love this explosive finale to the next cycle of the Kwan Thrillers!
