When a secret society dating back to ancient India resurfaces, Juan Cabrillo and the crew of the Oregon become entangled in a deadly struggle between two powerful factions.

One faction plans to seize power through an advanced artificial intelligence system, while its rival commands a network of satellites capable of crippling technology across the globe.
