Kris Bjornsen has come a long way since alien slave ships scooped her up
in Denver with thousands of others. Dropped off on 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!
