In the foreseeable future,

earth’s warriors have

conquered the heavens.

But on the distant world,

Humanity is within chains …

Many millennia ago, the people was enslaved from the An — a fearsome alien people whose cruel empire once spanned the galaxies, until these were defeated and consigned to oblivion. But a study mission to the earth Ishtar has made a terrifying — and fatal — breakthrough: the Ahanu, ancestors from the previous masters, go on, far from the reach of Globe — created weapons and technology … and tens of thousands of captive human being souls still bow to their iron will. Now Earth’s Interstellar Marine Expeditionary Unit must undertake a rescue procedure as improbable as it is essential to humankind’s potential, getting into a ten-year voyage to a hostile globe to handle an entrenched foe driven by dreams of previous glory and objective once more on domination. For individuals who, for countless years, have known only toil and subjugation should be granted, at all costs, the precious present entitled to all their star-traveling kind: freedom!
