And Paula Priest is getting a feel for being a rebel, hunting, cooking, and falling in love with a handsome soldier. And all leading to her getting to Captain her own ship!
Alex Harper's plan is coming together with General Potter heading towards his trap at planet Earth but a plague is beginning to spread throughout the entire universe. No planet in the Federation or Asiatic-Russian Alliance has escaped the plague. Will the rebels fall into the same trap as Potter as a fleet of theirs is headed towards Earth as well. Will the doctors find a cure for the plague that is destroying civilization as they know it?
