Synopsis
The Vemus don't just conquer worlds. They corrupt them from within. When intelligence reveals evidence of a Vemus Star Probe on the alien world of Edolus, Major Ethan Gates leads a covert strike team to capture it. They must act fast. If the Vemus harness the probe, they can create a new Alpha, an elite commander capable of crushing the Kevoryn's decade-long resistance in one catastrophic blow. Nothing on Edolus is what it seems. The Vemus are smarter and more coordinated than any force Ethan has encountered before, and his most dangerous asset is a Vemus construct he can't fully trust. The enemy has spent years preparing for exactly this moment, and they've made sure that every advantage Ethan brings to the fight can be turned against him. The Star Probe is within reach. The Alpha can be stopped. But some prices, once paid, can never be undone.
