Singularity Channel viewers may recognize Hollywood actress Shiloh Rush who plays Ensign Tara Guard in the sci-fi TV series Bulwark, but nobody knows Shiloh is leading a double life. Haunted by the mysterious disappearance of her beloved older brother, Shiloh hopes to track him down by following in his footsteps as a secret agent for the Zygan Federation, an intergalactic empire still hidden from Earth. During this quest, Shiloh and her British co-star William "Spud" Escott, also a Zygan agent, fly into space--for real--to stop terrorists and invaders who could destroy the Zygan Federation and kill millions throughout the universe.
Sent back in time to Earth's Ancient Middle East to save the life of a young prophet and prevent Earth's destruction, Shiloh and Spud stumble on a diabolical conspiracy and barely escape with their lives. Their assignment sabotaged, Shiloh and Spud discover the villains' real mission, face powerful enemy fighters from warrior planets and traitors from their own ranks, and race against time to save Earth.
Desperate to save her long-lost brother, also a Zygan Intelligence agent, from the clutches of an intergalactic terrorist and his minions, Shiloh enlists Spud to travel to a desolate dimension and mount a rescue, using the Golden Fleece she has borrowed from the ancient prophet Immanuel. On the trail, Shiloh and Spud risk their lives in the mysterious nebula, The Plegma, and face menacing demons, vampires, guerrillas, and Valkyries as they storm the gates of Hades. Returning to Earth, they find that their actions have resulted in devastating changes in the path of our history and that the Earth and the people they left behind no longer exist. Will they have to sacrifice their lives to save Earth’s?
Shiloh and Spud race to capture a former friend and fellow Zygan Intelligence trainee who is attacking Zygan outposts, murdering innocent Zygans, and aiming to assassinate the Zygan Federation's King, the Omega Archon, in the name of freedom. Shiloh and her friends confront the insurgent and his minions, who relay a secret about their lives that turns their ships--and their universe--upside down. Shiloh, Spud, and their team must choose between submission and rebellion--a revolution can save millions of lives, but risk billions in an empire that has become a dictatorship. Calling on rebels, Valkyries, and heavenly allies to join them in the war to overthrow their King, Shiloh and Spud go rogue and face kidnappers and torturers to learn the truth about themselves and their world. Join Shiloh and Spud on their mind-blowing missions (which may be their last), across Andromeda and the Milky Way, in the fog of the Plegma nebula, and the smog of Victorian-era London. Will they--and the Zygan Federation--survive?
