Cover copy
- The Kilrathi Empire is in a bind. For the last five years they have
- been constructing a secret fleet so powerful that it will slice
- straight through to Earth and destroy the Confederation. There is
- a problem, however: the Confederation has become increasingly
- successful with its behind-the-line raids and the Prince fears that
- before the new fleet is ready, the Empire will be on the ropes.
- At a Kilrathi council of war a simple solution is agreed upon: sue
- for peace, lull the humans into disarming and then when all is
- ready, launch a surprise offensive.
- True to the tradition of democracies everywhere, the Confeder-
- ation falls for it; the military stands down. Luckily for the human
- race, however, there are a few people who don't trust soft words from a
- Kilrathi mouth. Admiral Tolwyn and his veterans must fight a de-
- laying action, buying time with their lives for humanity to make
- ready for the final battle....
