The starship Earthling, filled with thousands of hibernating colonists en route to a new world at Tau Ceti, is stranded beyond the solar system when the ship's three organic mental cores—disembodied human brains that control the vessel's functions—go insane. The emergency skeleton crew sees only one chance for survival: build an artificial consciousness in the Earthling's primary computer that can guide them to their destination—and hope it doesn't destroy the human race.

MIRA has done the impossible: humanity now has not one but two homes beyond Earth. On Mars, breathable air and fertile soil are transforming a dead world into a living one. In the Proxima Centauri system, a new world waits under alien skies—the next chapter of a destiny among the stars. But the void is not empty. Across the stars lie ruins of civilizations that failed before us, their silent machines still waiting in the dark. When MIRA listens, they answer. Each revelation pulls her further from humanity’s reach and closer to something older, deeper, and more dangerous than she imagined.

Greatest of these is the dilapidated Brest-Litousk Stronghold, now home to multiple Red Army regiments, NKVD border forces, cadets, and their families.

Chased by agents of a regime that will do anything to protect the secrets of the Rasu Protocol, Nika flees to the stars with her once and future lover on a mission to expose those secrets. A race across alien worlds both exotic and deadly leads them to the bastion of the enemy, but its discovery brings a terrible revelation: sometimes the truth is indeed worse than the lies spun to conceal it.
