The war with the profoundlyalien Arduans has ended, and the Arduans have come to call humanity theirallies. Most
of them--the Arduan warrior caste refuses to accept defeat.Now known as the Kaituni, they are waging a war of
extermination against allmembers of the pan-Sentient Union, human and Arduan alike. What's more,the Kaituni have
an unexpected weapon in their arsenal: the alien Arachnids,once thought driven to extinction. The Kaituni drive the
Arachnid fleet aheadof them, inflicting untold damage.
The war has been marked by retreat on theside of the pan-Sentient Union. It seems the best they can do isminimize
their losses. But now the Arachnids and the Kaituni are at thedoorstep to the Heart Worlds, Sol, and Earth: Alpha
Centauri. The odds lookbleak. But Admiral Ian Trevayne and Commodore Ossian Wethermere have faced downlong
odds in the past. It's time to take a stand, for Earth, forhumanity . . . and for the pan-Sentient Union!
