A treasure hunter. A dying alien. A legacy that could change the galaxy.

Nathan Briggs makes his living finding lost treasures others can't-until a routine corporate espionage job puts him in the path of a dying alien who leaves him with mysterious nanites coursing through his veins.

Now he's hunted across the stars by a ruthless military commander with galactic ambitions. His only shot at survival? A ragtag alien crew aboard a ship captained by the ex-partner who once betrayed him.

As Nate struggles to understand the power growing within him, he realizes he's stumbled into the middle of an interstellar power struggle that's been brewing for centuries. The alien technology in his blood could tip the balance-if he can stay alive long enough to use it.

With enemies closing in from all sides, Nate must navigate treacherous alien politics and master strange new abilities. He's no longer just hunting treasure-he's become it. Finding a way home seems impossible when you're suddenly the galaxy's most valuable commodity.

From the bestselling author of the First Colony series comes an action-packed space adventure where the greatest treasures might be the ones you never meant to find.

Sometimes the universe finds you when you're not even looking.
