Five years after attacking the human-colonized worlds of the Spiral Arm, the hydrogues maintain absolute control over stardrive fuel...and their embargo is strangling human civilization. On Earth, mankind suffers from renewed attacks by the hydrogues and decides to use a cybernetic army to fight them. Yet the Terran leaders don't realize that these military robots have already exterminated their own makers - and may soon turn on humanity. Once the rulers of an expanding empire, humans have become the galaxy's most endangered species. But the sudden appearance of incredible new beings will destroy all balances of power. Now for humans and the myriad alien factions in the universe, the real war is about to begin...and genocide may be the result.

Expansive space opera and high-profile media franchises have long shaped galactic science fiction publishing, nowhere more prominently than in the continuation of Frank Herbert's epic universe. Kevin J. Anderson has co-authored over twenty expansion novels set in the Dune universe alongside Brian Herbert, including foundational works such as Dune: The Butlerian Jihad and Sisterhood of Dune. With over 190 published books and tens of millions of copies in print worldwide, his extensive bibliography spans original interstellar sagas as well as major tie-in projects for major media franchises.
Born on March 27, 1962, in Racine, Wisconsin, Anderson established his career in speculative fiction through both solo endeavors and high-profile collaborations. Early independent novels such as Resurrection, Inc. and hard science fiction co-written with Doug Beason—including the Nebula Award-nominated Assemblers of Infinity—demonstrated his ability to blend technical concepts with rapid narrative pacing. His career expanded significantly when Lucasfilm selected him to craft influential prose for the Star Wars expanded universe, leading to the bestselling Jedi Academy trilogy, the Young Jedi Knights series, and the Tales of the Jedi comic book series.
Beyond Star Wars, Anderson became a key contributor to shared-universe storytelling across comics, television, and film properties, authoring books for The X-Files, Star Trek, StarCraft, and DC Comics titles such as The Last Days of Krypton. His collaboration with Brian Herbert began in the late 1990s, drawing upon Frank Herbert's notes to complete the original Dune arc in Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune, while also expanding the prequel eras through multiple sub-series. In addition to his fiction writing, Anderson serves as a professor and Director of the Publishing Concentration at Western Colorado University and works as a television and film co-producer.
Anderson's writing is characterized by large-scale world-building, intricate multi-factional plots, and fast-paced adventure narratives. In original epics like the Saga of Seven Suns—which includes novels such as Hidden Empire, A Forest of Stars, and Scattered Suns—he weaves together multiple alien species, galactic conflict, and complex technological systems. His collaborative methodology relies on detailed outlining and structured narrative arcs, allowing him to maintain continuity across vast multi-volume series and long-standing tie-in universes.
