Enjoy the rich visual scenes the author creates as you come to know the people whose love, loyalty, determination and desire drive them on to fight against those - once their friends and lovers - who would sink their world into an abyss of darkness.
Hear their battle cry:
"We have only a few months to build an army strong enough, not only to invade a planet, but absord the crushing blow of a fist packing greater power than we have. If we win, many will die. If we lose...we all will. 'Desperate times call for desperate measures.' Debate and committees are luxuries we can no longer afford. Each of us must walk the road destiny's placed before us. Should we fail, let it not be because we were afraid of trying the unthinkable, or too timid to reach for the unreachable! Let us not die with just the sword in our hand...but with it buried deep in our enemy's belly!"
...And discover why our fate rests in their hands...
