- A near-future Earth has shaken off the devastating colonization by alien
Lokaran invaders and totalitarian rule by the alien’s puppets, the Earth
First party. But now Earth is flung into galactic intrigue and war. The Lokaron
empire teeters on the edge of a fratricidal meltdown and a cabal of ancient
enemies hope to use Earth as a proxy to destroy the empire and rule over a new
Galactic Dark Age. Now Captain Andrew Roark, the son of heroes of the rebellion
and an officer trained in Lokaran space warfare tactics, joins with a highly
capable Lokar who opposes the empire but wishes to see it transformed rather
than destroyed. Together they must uncover a conspiracy to control Earth —
and obtain the secret key to defeating it!
