A century and a half after the Martian Separatist Wars and the final
defeat of insane terrorist leader El Ahmi, Alexander Moore returns to
the stars with the
Sienna Madira
, a United States Navy supercarrier spacecraft outfitted with advanced
FTL and endlessly strange, extremely effective, quantum-based weapons
and remote sensing technology. And, of course, he's brought marines and
lots of them. These are troops superbly trained for space battle and
equipped with advanced powered armor and artificial intelligence backup.
Moore's task: hunt down remnant weaponry platforms left by the
brilliant, mad artificial intelligence known as Copernicus, the being
ultimately responsible for the solar system-wide civil war. Yet Moore is
about to uncover something far more sinister: Before his destruction,
Copernicus had established multiple mecha-warrior-defended bases with
the intent of resuming the destruction of humanity. Worse, an AI
presence even more dangerous, evil, and clever than Copernicus may have
formed an alliance with something else out there with a similar goal: to
wipe humanity from the galaxy forever. But those enemies will have to
face a fully armed and equipped military task force led by a resolute
general and his soldiers, who know they are all that stand between human
life, freedom, and progress--and the total annihilation of mankind.
