It is difficult enough to fight the powerful enemy you know. When you have enemies on your own side, it can be deadly.

The war between the Inter-Planetary Commonwealth has heated up. Similarly, Halberd’s romance with the intelligent and beautiful Amy Davidson has begun to blaze. At the same time, Halberd finds he is no safer on the ground than he is in command of his ship.

With no option to retreat, Halberd must lead the ships deeper into enemy space before they can find a way home.
