Synopsis
The Alliance fleet continues its desperate battle to make it home, under the command of Captain "Black Jack" Geary. Geary's victories have earned him both respect - and the envy - of his fellow officers... When Geary orders the fleet back to the Lakota Star System, where it was nearly destroyed by the Syndics, his officers question his sanity. But Geary believes it might just buy them enough time to prepare for their adversaries' inevitable return. However, even as he struggles to stay one step ahead of the enemy, Geary must face conspirators within his own fleet who want a change of command. Geary knows that they must stand together or the Syndic forces will tear them apart... A brand-new edition of the bestselling novel containing unique bonus material from the author.
