Mallory has been surrounded by death her entire life. And not just death but murders. No, seriously, she's been in the vicinity of no fewer than fifteen murders in her life. That's way too many. So, when the aliens arrived, she got herself up to a space station in the hopes that not being around other humans would mean that there would be no more murders. Eternity (the sentient space station) has allowed her to stay and Mallory is figuring out her life even as the aliens around her are figuring out her and the other two humans on board. Well, the one ambassador sanctioned by earth and the one who is somewhat AWOL from the American military. However, that is not going to be the case for long since there is currently a shuttle full of humans on its way up to Eternity, one filled with people who have connections to either Mallory or Xan (the military guy.) But right before their ship docks, the sentient being attached to Eternity is murdered and the station freaks out, whacking the shuttle and sending a number of people hurtling into space. It's up to Xan and Mallory to first rescue the survivors and then figure out just what the heck all of these people are doing up in space.
