Having escaped from the ruins of her home world, Echo finds herself without a future path when her partner Ben is lost in action and presumed dead. Determined to join the war effort, She sets out for the military academy, only to have her ship waylaid. When she escapes from the ship's attackers, she finds herself on a lost world, fighting with a small group of rebels against a regime that holds the population in virtual slavery.

In a society cowed by subjugation and without weapons, she searches for a way to lead a small band of rebels to free the population and return the lost colony to the Federation, and freedom. And always, she continues her quest to find out what happened to Ben.
"Dark World" is the second in the series "Echo's Way". Whilst part of a series, it is a complete, stand-alone Novel. An action/adventure story with just a hint of romance, it is a science fiction story set on a distant colonial planet in the far distant future.
