The alien forces known as the Lankies are gathering within the solar system’s edge, consolidating their conquest of Mars and setting their sights on Earth. The far-off colony of New Svalbard, cut off from the rest of the galaxy from the Lanky blockade, teeters within the verge of starvation and collapse. The makes of the two Earth alliances possess won small skirmishes but are in danger of dropping the war. For battle-weary staff sergeant Andrew Grayson as well as the ragged causes of the North American Commonwealth, the battle for survival is definitely entering a catastrophic brand-new phase.

Forging an uneasy alliance with their Sino-Russian enemies, the NAC launches a hybrid task force on a long shot: a stealth mission to breach the Lanky blockade and reestablish supply lines with Earth. Plunging into fight against a merciless alien varieties that outguns, outmaneuvers, and outfights them at every convert, Andrew and his fellow troopers could turn out cornered on their home turf, without way out and no hope for support. And this time, the struggle for humanity’s upcoming can only result in either success or annihilation.
