Orphan Wars

When leading archeologist Dr. Hank Murphy discovers an alien artifact on the Moon, corporate interests are quick to get involved. Murphy just wants to understand what this thing is and how it works. After months of research, he finally manages to locate the power source. The gate is soon activated...and Murphy is pulled through. Moments later, he finds himself in a war-torn corner of the galaxy where strangers like him are called Orphans...and they are considered extremely dangerous. Somehow altered by the experience, the archeologist now has enhanced strength, speed, and agility.

Murph and Jack are on the hunt for the biggest prize of them all: the Fifth Gate. But what exactly is it? And what will they do when they find it? Jack thinks he knows the answer, but what they find might not be what they expect. To make matters worse, someone else is on the hunt. And not just anyone, but another Orphan, and a powerful one at that. With his team by his side, Murph saddles up and prepares for a fight he won't soon forget.

Betrayal costs lives. When the Dark Eye of the Hardrian Empire does it, you would be better off dead. Abandoned on a sabotaged ship amid the wreckage of an ancient space battle, Doctor Hank Murphy and his friends won't last another day without a miracle. What they find instead is a frozen planet...
