Providence Ends by Bryan G. Shewmaker

In the far future, humanity has risen to become the dominant power in the known universe. The Solar Empire stretches from the Local Group to the Virgo Cluster. Its economic and military power can shape the fate of entire civilizations on its whims. These political forces are known as the Solar Winds. But in the distant Hourglass Galaxy, one species stands against the wind. A cold war is rapidly thawing between humanity’s Empire, and the Vaar of the Interstellar Combine. Yet as a cold war rapidly thaws between them, both are unaware they are embroiled in a conspiracy older than either of their nations. Five people. Five stories. One inescapable foe.
