The clock is ticking in the struggle for galactic independence
Once rebels themselves facing off against the Earth Confederation, the
United States of North America is now the dominant force in negotiations
with the interstellar Sh'daar Collective. But just as the Marines root
out the last violent dissenters, an alien ship of unknown origin
suddenly flees Earth's orbit. Is it mere coincidence . . . or a
terrifying omen?
President Alexander Koenig watches with great interest as USNA forces
chase the runaways down. But upon first contact, it's not apparent
where--or when--the crew is headed. For this bizarre species has
somehow mastered the power to manipulate time itself. Now Koenig must
decide whether he's dealing with angels of astonishing technological
prowess . . . or the agents of humanity's destruction.
