Pathfinders of the Dark is a serialized science fiction audiobook set against the backdrop of humanity's first interstellar war. When an alien swarm called the Varithra pours through a fold in the dark past Saturn, they bring with them a secret: they are not conquerors. They are afraid of what some humans carry.

Jax is a drive mechanic from a breaking-yard town on the gray coast of Earth. He has spent his life keeping a strange gift close, the ability to read the front edge of the world a half-second before it arrives. When the fleet finds him and hands him a piece of the enemy to wear at his temple, he becomes the one thing a thousand-minded swarm cannot predict: a single human mind willing to choose the path the consensus ruled impossible.

This is the story of the war they were afraid to tell. It begins at Mars.
