Cameron Cooke, author of Pride Works Deep) One day in the not too faraway future, Pete Hamlin regains consciousness deep inside the nuclear submarine Polaris. He's received a weapon in his side, a fireplace raging outside his door, and a lifeless man at his ft. Soon Pete discovers that the dispatch is in the center of a mutiny - and he has no idea what part he's on. He detects the ship is now commanded by the beautiful but volatile Hana Moody. She's locked the former captain, Finn McCallister, inside a metal trunk, accusing him of treason. Frank Holmes is Moody's loyalist, an imposing physical existence who shares Moody's unquestioning devotion to the cause of the Alliance. The ship's feckless doctor hovers in the background, unable to help Pete find out the reality about the Polaris. And outside the ship's metal hull lurks another submarine, another presence that might be either good friend or dangerous foe. To save himself and discover the reality, Pete must trip with Polaris back to a forlorn little bit of rock in the center of a dangerous sea: Eris Island. To make it happen he must fight murderous shipmates, a swarm of bomb-dropping drones, and a plague that is attacking everyone on both factors of a battle that Pete hardly understands. Only on Eris Island will Hamlin finally learn the reality.
