When stardust covered the sky and New Titan became an "experimental pasture" for the gods, Kai's world collapsed in one day - his sister Kayla was abducted by federal commandos, leaving only a commando badge engraved with "Cross Anchor".
He didn't know that this badge contained the ultimate secret of human civilization: we are the 613th civilization to be held captive by "observers", and Keira is their chosen "civilization adapter".
In order to retrieve his sister, Kai stepped into the bloody whirlpool between the Federation and the Resistance, cracked the shocking puzzle of the stardust code, and faced the cold truth that gods control destiny.
This is an interstellar journey about "defying fate" and a desperate persistence in "protecting daily life". When all civilizations are reduced to dust, can he carve a way out for mankind in the afterglow of stardust?
