Kris Bjornsen has come a long way since alien slave ships scooped her up
in Denver with thousands of others. Dropped of an apparently uninhabited
world with the rest, she has fallen in love with Zainal, a renegade
Catteni, and made a comfortable life for herself and her new family. But
she feels a soldier's duty to escape Botany and rejoin the struggle for
freedom. As the Eosi overlords continue to drop captives on Botany, the
colonists learn that there are freedom fighters on every captured world,
and Earth is full of pockets of resistance. There are even rebels among
the warlike Catteni. Now the colonists have the technology they need to
go back to war with the deadly Eosi - with a surprise strike at the
enslaved planet Earth itself!
