In Black Star City, alien offworlders are being systematically attacked and removed from society by a clandestine paramilitary group called the Overseers. When fugitive cop-turned-mercenary Syd Kiowa is contacted by a victim who escaped their grip, she is thrust into a horrifying war of secrets that will determine the future of alien relations on Earth forever!
After rescuing Avina from a vicious retrieval mission by the Overseers, Syd Kiowa finally discovers why the off-worlder is such a valuable asset. Meanwhile, Keres, the Overseers' chief architect, dispatches the most ruthless death squad on the planet, The 88s. Their mission? Find Avina to complete the experiments and eliminate Syd Kiowa for good.
