In a world scorched by a decades-long interstellar war, Ezra wakes with no memory of who he was and is immediately put to work for the Recovery Syndicate — salvaging equipment from abandoned spaceships and military installations. Cerebral implants in his skull suggest someone wants to keep him compliant. When clues about his past begin to surface, the direction of everything changes. The truth leads to war against the most powerful force in this broken world, and a battle against whatever was done to him from the inside.
