Fulfilling a prophecy to save the world can drive a young woman mad as the enthralling epic fantasy series continues. Carol Rafel knows the lengths to which the sorcerer Kragan will go to impede the fulfillment of her prophecy: destroy the wielder of necrotic magic before she destroys him. Never far from Kragan's evil grasp, she is struck down by his wicked spell. Carol's assassin husband, Arn, has no choice but to cast aside his precious weapon to embrace a more powerful one: the clairvoyance he shares with Carol. With time-sights linked, they must now rely on the dreamscapes of their minds to track Kragan into the shadows as he nears his own invaluable weapon: the legendary shattered trident, which will ensure him godlike powers. But Carol and Arn's visions come at a cost. Pursuit into such abominable darkness is leading to madness. As Kragan's armies amass for a raging war between good and evil, Carol fears that the ancient prophecy she's been chosen to bear out may be impossible to survive.

Einzig Dr. Stephensons Erkenntnisse aus dem Rho-Projekt können dies noch verhindern. Doch was lässt man auf die Menschheit los, wenn der unberechenbare Stephenson aus dem Gefängnis freikommt? Heather, Mark und Jenn versuchen derweil, in das Informationszentrum des zweiten Schiffs vorzudringen, um endlich hinter die Absichten der Aliens zu kommen.

Dla Richarda Phillipsa, kapitana kontenerowca Maersk Alabama, 8 kwietnia 2009 roku był kolejnym rutynowym dniem pracy – do czasu gdy na pokład statku wtargnęli uzbrojeni somalijscy piraci. Nie spodziewali się ani oporu załogi, ani tego, że kapitan będzie wolał zostać zakładnikiem, niż narazić życie swoich ludzi. Pięciodniową niewolę Phillipsa zakończyła dopiero akcja komandosów Navy SEALs. Opowieść Phillipsa jest poruszającym świadectwem tego, że człowiek w sytuacji ekstremalnej może wspiąć się na wyżyny siły woli, hartu ducha i poczucia odpowiedzialności za innych, zostać bohaterem. Historię tę czyta się jak rasowy thriller, bije ona jednak na głowę powieści sensacyjne, ponieważ wydarzyła się naprawdę. Na podstawie książki powstał film Paula Greengrassa, reżysera „Krucjaty Bourne’a” i „Ultimatum Bourne’a”.
