About this ebook

Seven years after the galaxy awoke from a period of collective amnesia known as the Gap, the citizens of Absalom Station have established a new normalcy living at the hub of recently discovered interstellar Drift travel. But all is not well for the founding members of the Starfinder Society, as tensions between the living and undead inhabitants of the station come to a violent head. Now, the undead starships and invading troops from the dead world of Eox besiege the station, threatening everything the station's inhabitants have built. Can famed android explorer Tyrcell and their companions survive the chaos of the Magefire Assault and restore order to Absalom Station or will this be the end of their Society and their home? Centuries later, what horrors of war will fledgling Starfinders Chk Chk and Dae discover as they pry into the past?
From Hugo Award-winning author Tim Pratt comes a sequel to the fan-favorite Starfinder novel, Era of the Eclipse, detailing another key moment in the history of the Starfinder Roleplaying Game's Pact Worlds setting—a moment not all of the Starfinder Society's founders will survive!
