White and Gannon return with a new entry in the Starfire series,
cocreated by New York Times best-selling authors Steve White and David
Weber.
Stand against the alien invader apocalypse!
The war with the profoundly alien Arduans has ended, and the Arduans
have come to call humanity their allies. Most of them - the Arduan
warrior caste refuses to accept defeat. Now known as the Kaituni, they
are waging a war of extermination against all members 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 ahead
of them, inflicting untold damage.
The war has been marked by retreat on the side of the pan-Sentient
Union. It seems the best they can do is minimize their losses. But now
the Arachnids and the Kaituni are at the doorstep to the Heart Worlds,
Sol, and Earth: Alpha Centauri. The odds look bleak. But Admiral Ian
Trevayne and Commodore Ossian Wethermere have faced down long odds in
the past. It's time to take a stand, for Earth, for humanity...and for
the pan-Sentient Union!
