A year has passed since the end of the conflict between the United Systems Coalition and the Bromidian Empire, and from the ashes of war a democratic government has arisen, with both governments working to form a fragile peace. But behind the scenes, a conspiracy is growing, threatening to destroy the stability Captain Arano Lakeland and his elite unit have fought to protect. When a coup d'état overthrows the provisional Bromidian government, Arano finds himself trapped behind enemy lines and has to lead an unlikely band of companions against a shadowy foe. Fighting for their very survival, the group waits for word about who is behind the insurrection and prepares to hunt down the intergalactic terrorist responsible for a series of deadly bombings. Before it is over, the unit's search will expose a vast and terrible conspiracy that could destroy the Coalition. At that point, their task will be not just to save the galaxy—but to stay alive long enough to get back to their headquarters.
