Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she's going to need it.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them.

This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process.
