Arthur and his allies fought hard for peace, but it was short lived. Days after returning to Earth with their new Teleri friends, they receive a fragmented message from the Mori hive ship they were born and enslaved on.

On December 4, 2017, an alien force attacked the Earth. Over the following five days, the entire human race was enslaved, and any resistance was met with death. Earth's only survivor - the first and only artificial intelligence ever created by man.

Alexander's army seems unstoppable. Phalathlan and Oster have fallen and they've turned their attention towards Morton where the surviving forces seem powerless to stop them. Refusing to run any more, Ben and Carl devise a plan that is both brilliant and insane. Hoping that one man can help them, they set off on an ocean voyage that will take Ben back to where he started. Their future will hinge on the answer to one question. Is the enemy of your enemy your friend, or your enemy?

They were too late. Despite everything that they'd sacrificed, everyone that they'd lost, they were still too late to stop the army from the north. Now, outnumbered and out gunned, the survivors from the Road Trains fight back against the force that has occupied their homeland, but Alexander seems to be one step ahead of them at every turn. If it's always darkest just before the dawn, what happens if the sun never rises?
