Overview

In the Pacific, still healing from wounds inflicted by Hidoiame, Matt Reddy and USS Walker begin to plan a bold raid against the very heart of the Grik Empire. Adar and Commander Herring have been making secret plans of their own, developing a controversial weapon they know Captain Reddy will not like. It's not gas, but in many ways it's worse--and far more insidious and unpredictable. A way to deliver it still eludes them. But first, they must all lead an unprecedented campaign by air and sea to break through and destroy the Grik battle fleet. All other plans go on hold when the attempt proves more difficult--and far costlier than anyone imagined. In the Pacific, as USS Walker is repaired and updated after a previous battle and Matt Reddy is healing from his wounds, planning begins for a bold raid on the very heart of the Grik Empire. But time is running out for the Alliance army in Indiaa, and the Allied forces in the west must gather in an unprecedented land, air, and sea campaign to destroy the mighty Grik battle fleet and break through to their relief. All other plans go on hold when the attempt proves more difficult-and more heartbreakingly costly-than anyone imagined. Meanwhile, the struggle continues on other fronts near and far- in the jungles of Borno in distant southern Africa and in the Americas, where the Allies are finally learning the terrible truth about the twisted Dominion. The Alliance is on the offensive everywhere, but their enemies have a few surprises, including new weaponry and new tactics...and a stunning geographic advantage that Reddy never suspected. Until now.
