For rookie pilot Roland Horn, it's a waiting room. War broke out on the surface of Mars, and yet he's seen nothing. The thrill of putting aging panzerters through their paces has long worn off. When he receives a distress call from a damaged freighter, he jumps at the break in his tedium. However, his daring rescue inadvertently allows an enemy spy to reach their objectives.

The alien war ended a long time ago. Today, the impact of that war upon humanity has been relegated to the past. So it was quite a surprise when an Orbital Defense crew made a discovery that would resurrect those memories. For some the discovery would bring back an old hatred and the threat of another invasion....

Roland Horn's promotion to Lieutenant Commander is still warm when he's handed his most difficult assignment yet. Ronald must stand up a second special forces squadron, leading them with the rest of Task Force Cobalt in an attack on the last Union outpost in the asteroid belt.

The stage is set for a possibly cataclysmic confrontation in non-space-and the Speaker for the Clan Council and her human mate are about to find themselves in the heart of the conflict.

I’d lived on a starship long enough to value the small sounds the Fox made: the whoosh of air through vents, the bone-deep growl of lift engines, and the reassuring almost-whine that meant not only gravity, but that we were moving through subspace under power. Sound meant we were safe and all was well. Silence meant the opposite....

After failing to stop a devastating Union attack, ace pilot Roland Horn finds himself with millions of lives on his conscience. With both sides Mars Fleets out of commission, the Wildcard Squadron is transferred to the Asteroid Belt, a front quickly shaping up to be the most important. A Union dominated belt means millions of Tharcian civilians will be cut off from the homeland, and the forces on Mars will be cut off from the raw materials and fuel they need to win.

Ensign Roland Horn still has a lot to learn. While preparing for guerilla operations against the larger Union fleet, The Promise squadron is given a new mission: Pick up an intelligence operative with vital information critical to the war effort.

For Commander Roland horn, he finds his special operations squadron put to use in increasingly dangerous operations. Most of the Union Fleet outside the Mars Sphere is held up in the Avalonian space fortress Trafalger. High command would have left the fortress at the whims of a simple blockade were Trafalger not running cover for Union convoys to the outer solar system. Convoys that don't seem to return.

Three large objects were heading towards Earth. Large enough to do real damage. Even more concerning, they didn’t look like asteroids at all. The three appeared to be rectangular. They were coming in fast, incredibly fast, on a collision course. Another notification alarm began sounding. The object’s trajectory and speed were changing. They were slowing and separating. Taking up positions around the Earth. The station supervisor activated the emergency alert system, and reached for the red phone.
