Newly promoted Captain Ian "Irish" Shannon continues his efforts in the Orion Confederation's struggle against the Alliance Hegemony when entire planets fall prey to their powerful military. He must not only fight the known enemy, but himself when tragedy rears its ugly head.

Allies and friends, both new and old, join forces with him to help fight implacable and powerful adversaries. Ground combat mixed with space battles make for a fast-paced story set in humanity's future.
