For the first time, the adventures of Team 9, the Allied worlds and their battles against the supernatural menace known as Apaht are available in one book, Alliance Eternal. It begins with The Legend of Team 9, which tells the story of the Alliance, a vast and far flung collection of worlds brought together by the Allen field, a living energy source connecting all sentient beings. With the field come an equally vast array of abilities, including effortless travel between worlds, a form of telepathy and near immortality. The field is the bedrock of the Alliance; however, the Allies are shaken to their very core as they and their elite group of explorers, Team 9, make a startling discovery: The field is dying. In time, they learn that Apaht, a powerful supernatural being of pure malice, seeks to extinguish the field. An all-out effort is launched to protect it and save the Alliance. Nearly two centuries later, remnants of the group that defended the Allied worlds and vanquished Apaht are brought together to investigate a troubling new enigma involving the field. Tales of Section Zero begins with vast stretches of space inexplicably falling dark, bereft of the Allen field and the abilities it enables. Worse yet, the regions seem to be expanding. On a lonely and desolate outpost called Discovery 11, they learn that the cause of the dead zones lies in the Alliance's distant past, in a long-forgotten search to create an all-seeing machine called an omniviewer. It's up to Paul Hewitt, an immortal operative of the Alliance's intelligence service, to realize how the Alliance's ancient quest to peer into any corner of existence is roiling the field once again.
