Book III: The Ori gone, Aschen imprisoned, Wraith changed and pacified, yet the Alliance is threatened once more. The Vargas are coming and no one knows how they are going to survive an enemy that spans throughout the known universe and had done so for billions of years. By closing the anomalies, they have postponed the invasion by more than two years, but will that be enough?

This is the continuation of Destiny's journey and mission. It's been three years, and it's time for the ship and crew to wake up again and take up their task. Time has passed, but the mission is the same: unlock the secrets of the universe.
