The human race has been cast from a dying Earth to wander the stars in a vast fleet of arks. Ahead of the fleet flies the scout ship the Furious Ocelot, crewed only by Captain Eryn King and a snarky talking cat. When Eryn's sister disappears during a routine mission, she insists on being part of the crew sent to look for her. What she discovers on Candidate-623 is both terrifying and deadly. When the threat follows her back to the fleet and people start dying, she is tasked with seeking out a legendary recluse who may just hold the key to humanity's survival.

Sequel to Fleet of Knives. Low on fuel and hunted by the Fleet of Knives, the sentient warship Trouble Dog heads to the Intrusion - an area of space where reality itself becomes unstable. But with human civilisation crumbling, what difference can one battered old ship make against an invincible armada?

The former warship Trouble Dog and her crew follow a distress call from the human starship Lucy's Ghost, whose crew have sought refuge aboard an abandoned generation ship launched ten thousand years before by an alien race. However, the enormous vessel contains deadly secrets of its own.
