In the 28th century, the human race finds itself embroiled in a pitiless and ferocious life-or-death struggle with an alien race which is resolved to destroy them.
The Ramassidors are not only malevolent, they are also highly advanced. There's also something else about them, however. Concealed and obscure, they have an agenda which is higher than mere conquest.
Michael Stratford is part of Deltacore, the military force assigned to Interstellar combat. He is a genuine decorated war hero and the captain of the Horizon, but he knows that humanity is losing this fight and he wants answers.
As Stratford begins to question the war and the designs of the Ramassidors, he makes enemies who not only lie to him, but who also want him dead. And as he closes in on the truth he reveals something truly shocking. Extinction of the universe is imminent if Stratford fails his task.
