Beginning his 2000+ year life as a teenage founder of the Star Force military, Paul-024 has been on the front lines throughout the growth of Earth's planetary defense force from inception through both the Skarron and lizard wars. Then when the V'kit'no'sat returned and began annihilating Earth's interstellar empire starting with its capitol, Paul was there fighting a stalling retreat while Star Force evacuated as many people as possible, losing system after system as they were pushed further out into the galactic rim.The result has been an ever growing Devastation Zone where the V'kit'no'sat patrol the destroyed territory to keep Star Force out and a front line that they continually keep plucking systems from...but a change is coming, and as Star Force's technology and strength continue to rise almost to parity with the enemy Dinosaur empire the V'kit'no'sat are taking notice. The fragments of the rogue Human civilization they thought they'd mostly destroyed are going to be tolerated no longer, with a major push coming that Paul and the other trailblazers must stop...else the eventual fall of Star Force will soon follow.---*This standalone book occurs concurrently with Wayward Trilogy book #3, Persistent Ravage.*
