About the Book

Six months ago the Eaglaton Protectorate launched an unprovoked attack against Humanity and her allies. Only a daring strike led by Georgia Somerville managed to reopen the Gift wormhole and allow Imperial reinforcements into the conflict zone. Now, Admiral Becket has the full might of the Imperial Navy flowing to her banner. Yet time is of the essence, for there are signs the Karacknid Civil War is coming to an end and Humanity’s old enemy may soon seek its revenge.

Becket, aided by Jonathan and Georgia Somerville, must strike hard and fast against the Protectorate. For if they cannot end the unwanted war quickly, it may drain the Empire and her allies of all the strength they have spent two decades building.

However, lurking in the shadows, another foe watches, determined to do whatever it takes to see the two enemies fight it out to the death.

One way or another, something must break, for if the war cannot be ended quickly, Humanity will find it impossible to defend itself on three fronts.
