Seven years after the fall of The Watcher, the Jimmian economy is struggling to recover from the forced evacuation of nearly forty million of its citizens. On Aestatle, most of those refugees have settled into a humble, if comfortable, lifestyle. Aestatle is still the paradise it was when its discovery sparked the long simmering Jimmian/Korzon war, over twenty years ago.Korzon hasn't forgotten their lost world or the brutal events at Meleknough 135a1. Neither have they forgotten or forgiven the hated name of William Faridon. And though William and Her Majesty, the Queen Zequ, have made a life together, not everyone is happy with affairs of state.After eight years of silence, Korzon has a devastating new weapon to use and new allies to stand with her. The calm around their long, cold war is about to explode. And Jimmian's time of peace has run out.Deep in the mountains of Belenghyr, another power grows. The great Amoc-Marée, Anbrond ona Timisla Terrel, known to a few as Cinthia Ann Faridon, broods over the nature and purposes of The Loop. If Korzon comes to the Jimmian star system, they may find it better defended than they expect.

Teetering on the edge of collapse, still reeling from Earth's treachery and Korzon's terrifying direct attack on the Cenough home system, Zequ Queen of Jimmian and Vezan establishes a unique new posting to lead her people through the storm - the Lord Admiral Commander William James Faridon. With the great Amoc-Marée, Anbrond ona Timisla Terrel struggling for life and unable to defend them, Zequ must learn to lean on her champion husband to organize their response.On the other side of the galaxy, in the G'Zheret system, Korzon's contentious political factions are still trying to make sense of the shocking and stunning defeat of their new Super Carriers. No known force could possibly have shredded their fleet in mere seconds. But the streaming telemetry and scan reports are conclusive of one thing: something dreadful lurks in the Cenough system - something diabolical.Halfway between these two belligerents, the nations of Earth wonder when they'll be dragged into this seemingly far away war. Quiet and ponderous, the cryptic Learning Engine AI calculates the inevitable results of staying hidden or stepping into world events - one more time. Does she dare to upset history again? Can humanity afford her not to?
