Young Katalya Skye's world was torn apart when she was ripped from her family and sold into slavery in the Dark Zone. But she was a survivor and did what needed to be done to stay alive in a violent, unpredictable existence. Everything changes, however, when she unwillingly becomes part of a secret program directed by the Alpha Humana elite.

The chaotic struggle for control of the known galaxy continues. After the failed attempt to bring about revolution on Alpha Humana itself, the Akota turn their sights on the duplicitous Port Royal Association in order to remove the scheming power brokers from the board all together. As usual, Marshal Tyler Stone and his team find themselves in the center of the action.

Even if they survive, everything will be different...

As the galaxy spirals into open warfare, Tyler Stone has joined forces with his former enemies, the Terillians. Stone now knows the new war has been manufactured by the First Families to satisfy the Xen Empire's demand for more slaves--a move necessitated by the spread of a deadly virus that is killing off huge portions of their human chattel. Complicating matters is the Saint, a con-man turned messiah who begins to unite the planets under his brand of religion--one that creates fanatical followers. Stone must confront not only the enemy but challenges to his own identity while he and his companions battle to save millions from enslavement and death.

Major Tyler Stone stands at the precipice of greatness. After years of faithful service, everything seems to be coming together-a promotion and an engagement to a beautiful (and powerful) woman. But his world suddenly begins to crumble when deceit and defeat bring him face to face with an enemy that turns his perception of the galaxy on its ear.
