- Sequel to national bestseller, Nebula Award finalist, and Compton Crook
Award winner Fire with Fire.- When reluctant interstellar diplomat and intelligence operative Caine
Riordan returns from humanity’s first encounter with alien races, sudden
war clouds burst. With Earth’s fleet shattered by a sneak attack and its
survivors fighting for their lives, Caine must rely upon both his first contact
and weaponry skills to contend with the non-humanoid enemy. And when the
technologically-superior attackers sweep aside the solar system’s last
defenses, and traitorous corporations invite the invaders to land "security
forces," humanity fights back with its best weapons: cunning, inventiveness, and
guts. But as Earth hurtles towards a final trial by fire that is certain to scar
its collective memory, Caine discovers that there may also be large and
disturbing gaps in that memory.
