Risen Gods - Chronicles of Nethra, #5

The crew of the Vandal faces a crisis on their return to Minos Station, and that is only the beginning. Dark forces have arrayed themselves against the crew as Cali Vay-Lon and her Marauders assume control over the Heart of Thule-a powerful psionic artifact said to contain the very essence of a god. But, as the crew will soon discover, the artifact isn't the only divine instrument at play here. Ancient gods battle with new and terrifying technologies in a bid for control over reality itself.
If something isn't done, these powerful forces will work to enact their dark interpretations of cosmic prophecy and bring the existing power structure to its knees. A journey that began with a simple heist has transformed into a battle for all Terran space. Regardless of who survives, the universe will never be the same again.
