A Month Beyond the Rubicon

For eight years now, Earth has been a colony of the Insects, a powerful alien civilization. But the truth revealed to Maxim Vorontsov is even heavier – Earth has never been free. Now he is forced to leave his home planet and hide among the Changed, former humans who have become soldiers of the Insects. He needs to understand why the Insects wage endless wars against the Ancients. To learn what the Meanings are, which they collect as tribute from conquered planets. And to find a way to free Earth from eternal slavery – because only then can he return his love. But how cruel this path is! And what if the cure turns out to be more dangerous than the disease?
