The Unsung — Scott Bartlett

The galaxy's not big enough

Commander Joe Pikeman has his share of demons. But after a long deployment, he just wants to enjoy some home leave with his daughter.

The galaxy has other plans.

His last assignment takes him to Earth, humanity's deserted homeworld. There, he finds Earth's last settlement littered with the bodies of the people who lived there.

As he hunts down those responsible, he runs head-first into some galaxy-shaking questions.

Why did humanity really abandon the galaxy for a computer simulation?

Who would want to start killing off the last real humans left?

There's one thing Joe knows for sure. If they're going after his neighbors…his family…his daughter…

They'll need to go through him first.
