In 2141, humanity has attained the stars, but several nations who have found their dreams of interstellar empire thwarted have gone to war to ensure their futures beyond the Solar System. U.S. Space Force Lieutenant Neil Mercer is sent to an independent colony on a strategic island on the planet of Entente to curry favor with the repressive ruling government, while his mentor, NSS operative James Donovan, seeks to bring in the powerful neutral states of India, Russia and Europa into the war on the allied side, first through diplomacy, and then through ... other means. On Kuan Yin, Neil's old friend, space defense artilleryman Rand Castillo, assumes a position of leadership among the guerrillas fighting in the occupied American continent. Initially light-years apart, their three stories will ultimately intertwine in a confrontation that will determine the fate of a planet, as well as their own. A novel of 110,000 words.
