A Star Ignites! Against everything he has known as truth, Bounty Hunter William Derry has called off the assassination of the Star-child Sydney, choosing instead to protect her from the forces seeking to annihilate her and any trace of her alien heritage. But as William and Sydney seek answers to the mysteries of her existence, she advances to the next stage of her Star-child evolution - Supernova - and struggles not only to control her new powers, but also the emotions for her new love. As Sydney's behavior becomes more erratic, a new, more power threat - Dodge, the un-touchable assassin - heads to Earth on a collision course to kill everyone they know and love. With new villains and old allies on the horizon and a Civil War erupting on Fabricius, will self-sacrifice prove to be the only way for William to achieve victory, or is there another way?
