On a voyage toward the boundaries of the known universe, nine misfit academics seek out first contact with a shadowy alien race.

Soon, however, the crew discovers that their greatest mystery – and most dangerous threat – is an unexpected force aboard the ship wielding a thirst for blood and terror…
