Everything is on the line against the Dominion and the Grik, and the Grand Alliance is stretched to its breaking point. Victory is the only option, whatever the cost, because there can be no second chances.
Desperate on two fronts, the USS Walker out of commission means Commander Matt Reddy must use a different ship to save the men of the Santa Catalina and block the Grik’s Final Swarm.
With Lady Sandra and friends held prisoner by the mad Kurokawa,
Captain Reddy fears he’s subordinating the war effort for personal reasons. But Kurokawa is too dangerous to be left alone.
With more enemies than ever before, the crew of the Walker needs new allies just when she is in desperate need of repairs as Kurokawa shakes the Alliance to its core.
The Alliance wages do-or-die battles on two fronts — against the Grik and the Doms — that risks far more than that for which anyone bargained.
War teeters on a knife-edge as enemies learn from their mistakes, new ones threaten, and Capt. Reddy, his crew, and his allies face overwhelming odds.
As USS Walker is repaired and Matt Reddy 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.
Massacres, betrayals, traps, rescues, and ambition abound as ships desperately needing a refit chase the enemy in revenge. And the Grik no longer turn prey.
Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy and the crew of the USS Walker find themselves caught between the nation they swore to defend and the allies they promised to protect. For even as the Allies and the Empire of New Britain Isles stand united against the attacks of both the savage Grik and the tenacious Japanese, the “Holy Dominion”-a warped mixture of human cultures whose lust for power overshadows even the Grik-is threatening to destroy them both with a devastating weapon neither can withstand.
As Lt Cdr Matthew Reddy and the crew of the U.S.S. Walker continue their battle for both freedom and survival, the stakes are more personal…and perilous.
