However, nearly a millenium after the ship ''Deliverance'' colonized the ice-world of Kai,45 fear of the Humanoids' chase faded, effectively reducing their significance to a children's tale.6 The Lifewcrew, those dedicated to defending the free remnants of mankind from the Humanoids, have lost influence over the planetary government.7 Keth Kyrone, the protagonist and son of the discredited Lifecrew leader Ryn Kyrone, attempts to alert the people of Kai to the Humanoids' advent, and begins to uncover the mysteries surrounding the colony world Malili and its native people.
