A vastly superior alien race boils out of the galactic core, bent on expansion into Human and Sumerian space. Giant sun ships annihilate everything thrown against them. Only Regent Cordez, of the SouthAm trading block, has any sort of plan to stop the invaders. He ferries in the agile minds of the Mersa, from a previously isolated quarantine planet, and makes contact with the Druani, an ancient and elusive race that inhabits the fringes of the galaxy. Cordez' research teams leap generations in months to find the technology they need, working out of the giant Prometheus base on one of the moons of Neptune. But still the people of Earth are forced back, until their planet is on fire from end to end, until Prometheus discovers that humanity's ideas about its origins are all wrong. It is the ultimate shock - and the new beginning they need.
A vastly superior alien race has boiled out of the galactic core, bent on expansion into Human and Sumerian space, and giant sun ships have annihilated everything the Alliance has been able to throw against them. Regent Cordez has ferried in the agile minds of the Mersa to find new ways of looking at star ships, and made contact with the Druani, an ancient and elusive race that inhabits the fringes of the galaxy. Research teams have leaped generations to find the technology they need, working out of the giant Prometheus base on Proteus, one of the moons of Neptune, but the Alliance is pushed back to toeholds on their key planets. With the Alliance in disarray the alien invaders set up bases in the streaming tails of fire that rip between the suns of binary systems. Civil war rages across the medieval planet Hud as the Descendants of the Prophet are pushed back toward Roum, and Celia's research team crosses half the Spiral Arm in a desperate effort to solve a mystery that might put the Alliance back in the fight.
It has taken four years of fighting, four years of research and invention at Prometheus - with a lot of help - and four years of building the Alliance of Planets into a force that can take on the rapacious expansion of the Navscar cells from the Core. Extraordinary individuals have helped the Alliance every step of the way. The Shellport leadership that finally crushed the power of the Descendants of the Prophet, Fedic Vits' life-threatening missions, and the personal journeys of Celia, Manoba, and Asura as they strive to keep the Alliance fighting back. Now, finally, the big questions can be answered. Why was humanity transplanted to Earth 200 thousand years ago? What caused the Caerbrindii to split into three constantly warring races countless millennia ago? And how can the Alliance destroy the alien city in the Antares sun, and force the Navscar back to the Core?
