V polovině 23. století je Darwin v Austrálii posledním městem na Zemi, které zcela nezachvátila epidemie zvláštní nemoci. Ta přeměnila světovou populaci na divoké pololidi bez zábran a s instinktem zabíjet jako šelmy. Všichni, koho epidemie ještě nepostihla, se hrnou do Darwinu, v němž výtah, vytvořený tzv. staviteli a původci této katastrofy, vydává auru potlačující účinky epidemie. Letec Skyler Luiken patří k několika málo výjimkám imunním vůči nákaze. Spolu se svou imunní posádkou prohledává nebezpečné pustiny mimo okraj aury a pátrá po užitečných předmětech, ať už to jsou výzkumné přístroje či jen pytle s pravou kávou. Jednoho dne jej osloví dr. Tania Sharmová s tím, aby přivezl přístroj, který by mohl napomoci odvrátit světový kolaps. Jenže zjistí, že podivná nákaza není jediná komplikace, a Skyler tak musí bojovat nejen o vlastní přežití, ale i o záchranu alespoň těch posledních zbytků lidské společnosti.

Spali stovky let. Na své dlouhé cestě si v kryospánku nechali zdát sny o novém domově v galaxii v Andromedě. Teď se konečně probouzejí a jejich sen o míru se ocitá v troskách. Pionýři z Mléčné dráhy – turiani, salariani, lidé, asarijky a další – nyní musí čelit nové, neznámé galaxii a hrozbám, jaké si ani nedokázali představit. Nexus je základna, ze které mají kolonisté začít prozkoumávat svůj nový domov. Jenže než vůbec dorazily archy jednotlivých ras, obří vesmírná stanice se změnila v kriticky poškozenou, umírající trosku. Mise Andromeda je v ohrožení a Sloane Kelly, šéfka bezpečnosti, musí obnovit aspoň zdání pořádku a za každou cenu udržet Nexus při životě. Čas totiž utíká, a pokud Sloane selže, celá Andromeda Initiative by se mohla sesypat jako domeček z karet.

After discovering the first key in the wreckage of a crashed Builder ship, Skyler Luiken and his crew follow the migrating aura towers in search of the four remaining relics. But time is running out...

"Welcome to Silvertown, Washington. Population: 602. (For now.) Officer Mary Whittaker is the lone cop in a small, bizarre mountain town that has yet to fully welcome her. With the chief of police on leave, she is left to uncover the truth behind a sudden spate of abnormal incidents. An exemplary, beloved teenager has died tragically after eating wild mushrooms from his lawn. A hiker was found dead on a trail, smiling serenely after being mauled by a bear. And other residents seem to have lost all sense of self-preservation as they walk out in front of her moving cruiser or sit placidly in the middle of a sharp bend in a mountain road. As she witnesses increasingly odd behavior and more bodies are discovered in baffling-and completely avoidable-circumstances, Officer Whittaker is dismayed to find no two cases are the same, except in their bizarreness. Though every possible explanation and conspiracy theory is considered, from mental breakdowns to aliens, it turns out to be something much more unsettling. The townsfolk are all losing their instincts, one by one. As the town descends into panic, and Mary's own instincts begin to fail, she must figure out what is happening, who is behind it, and how to prevent the quirky mountain village from turning into a ghost town"--
