The breathtaking conclusion in the towering epic of intergalactic war, begun in 'The Praxis' and 'The Sundering'.
The universe has fallen into bloody chaos now that the dread empire of the tyrannical Shaa is no more-at the mercy of the merciless insectoid Naxid who, freed from subjugation, now hunger for domination. But the far-flung human descendants of Terra have finally tasted liberty, and their warrior heroes will not submit. Separated by light-years, Lord Gareth Martinez and his one-time comrade and lover, the mysterious guerilla fighter Caroline Sula, each pursue a different road to victory in tomorrow's ultimate battle-for the new order will be far more terrible than the old . . . unless one last, bold, and desperate stratagem can hold a shattered galaxy together.
