Fate, destiny, predetermination or coincidence, what brought them back together didn't matter. What mattered is how the galaxy kept coming up with excuses to try and separate them, how hard he could rage against what was trying to be determined. But Thundercracker would win this war, even if against a most mercurial enemy: reality itself. Sequel to Delicate Illusion of Freedom.

Earth under the unmerciful dominion of the Decepticons, Alexis' struggle for survival will be tried by captivity, deception and help from unlikely sources. But survival won't be enough. Not when the planet's greatest disaster has yet to transpire.
