About this listen

The Progenitors’ plan is revealed, but stopping them means piercing the veil of Shadow Space.

Finally possessing the ability to enter the Progenitors’ shadow realm, Commander Reeves and Major Kane embark on a daring mission into the heart of enemy territory.

However, en route they must detour to the Quarr planet of Vroxxa, which is under Sa’Nerran occupation. There they will learn the true horrific purpose of the "atmosphere acclimators" the aliens have installed on dozens of worlds. They will also discover the sickening depth of the Sa’Nerran’s cruelty, forcing Reeves to again confront his dark side.

Meanwhile, the enhanced neural technology that Reeves and Kane now share provides a glimpse into the future, as well as the past. Reeves will learn that as well as inheriting the darkness from his Omega Taskforce ancestors, he also inherited their humanity.

Continuing the fight inside the shadow realm, Reeves and Kane see the epic and terrifying scale of the Sa’Nerran war machine for the first time, and are confronted with the engine that powers it.

The discovery provides perhaps their only hope of defeating the Progenitors and ridding the galaxy of the Sa’Nerra.

But the Progenitors will not allow their machines of war to be easily dismantled. And now, not only are the six realms under threat of invasion, but the Sa’Nerran Imperator is gunning for Concord Station, too.

The stage will be set for the final battle. But first, Reeves and Kane have to escape the shadow realm, and find their way home.

Descendants of War is a new sci-fi action-adventure series set in a vivid multi-species universe. It’s filled with danger, intrigue, and drama played out against the tense backdrop of a looming war versus an ancient and bitter enemy. If you like Babylon 5 and Deep Space 9, this could be the series you’ve been waiting for.
