After forty-two years in uniform, Major Diego Martinez knows exactly how Earth's Exodus program works: an AI scores your worth, assigns you a seat on the ships, and leaves the rest to die. When the system flags his granddaughter as non-essential, Diego refuses his final deployment order, resigns his commission, and burns the only career he's ever known. But walking away from the APU is the easy part. Smuggling his family to a new world requires a physicist who hasn't slept in three days, a black-market operator Diego once carried through rubble as a boy, a hacker who won't leave without her cat, and a portal to an alien world that has already killed one person—and has enough power for a handful more crossings before it goes dark forever. Dr. Olivia Smith built the Crucible Project from the wreckage of her husband's death. She knows the portal's limits better than anyone. What she doesn't know is how to trust a soldier who has spent his entire life following orders he no longer believes in. Earth's tectonic plates are accelerating toward collapse. The portal window is shrinking with every activation. And the people Diego came to save are still on the wrong side of it. Some choices stay with you. Some ghosts never leave.
