Enough time has come to take the fight to the Lankies. Mars has been under Lanky control for greater than a season. Since that time, the depleted makes of Earth’s alliances have rebuilt their fleets, staffing previous warships with newly trained soldiers. Torn between the need to beat the Lankies towards the punch and acquiring enough time to put together a highly effective fighting push, command has made a decision to strike now.

Once more, seasoned veterans Andrew and Halley find themselves responsible for green troops with the sharp tip from the spear as the combined army might of Earth rises against the Lankies. But if there’s one continuous in war, it’s that no battle plan survives 1st connection with the enemy…and the Lankies want to hold on to Mars as terribly as humanity wants to reclaim it.
