His wife and son died in the stardust explosion, and Ji Jin detonated a nuclear bomb on his home planet and died with the enemy. Little did he know that the explosion activated the ancient star core, and his deeply hated old enemy Su Lin was actually the one secretly guarding his family's last shred of consciousness. The wandering mercenary Chi Miao bears a blood debt, the quantum hacker Iris buries the fragments of truth, and the AI mecha Zero Seven whispers the song of a child in his dream. When interstellar wars rage across the galaxy, Ji Jin must tear himself apart between revenge and redemption - because his wife and children may still be alive, but... No longer human.
