The Terran Commonwealth has proved a nigh-unstoppable juggernaut in its war against small Castle Federation and her allies, but an almost accidental victory by Captain Kyle Roberts of the carrier Avalon has opened a chink in its armor.

Desperate to change the course of a battle these are rapidly losing, the Federation assembles a new forwards fleet with orders to retake the systems that have fallen to the enemy.

Outnumbered but around the offensive finally, Kyle Roberts must take a hastily put together battle group back again to the worlds the Alliance didn’t defend. There he will live or perish by the skills of his soldiers and the honor of his foes.
