However, his life changes dramatically when, in the space of a week, he suffers a dreadful personal tragedy, potentially he becomes a murderer and he meets a girl who claims to be an alien... Over the next few days, Archie and Farspace Commander Kharalaya 7 Calfarr form an unusual, fraught and occasionally physical alliance as they try to recover an alien weapon deposited on earth and constructed with one objective - genocide!

Finally, as Archie and Khara realise that they are not alone in their search, he finds himself embroiled in an alien civil war, in space with a mortally wounded alien girl and faced with the toughest decision of his life!
