It was all just a matter of time. Just a matter of time until the Zrax prevailed over the defensive alliance of the Humans, Tarks, Jadden, Calans. Kra, Eans, Zxmyrans, Saidak, and Sem. Only the troublesome Frontier, an unnatural galactic void, had delayed the Empire's inevitable victory over the nascent Stellar Federation. Still, with millions of warriors, thousands of ships, countless worlds, and virtually unlimited resources at their command, time was on their side. And then the Humans found something that could tip the balance of the war in their favor, an alien weapon that could move planets, and the Zrax knew they had to act. Time was of the essence. Now, the members of the Federation find themselves engaged in a deathmatch with a massive Zrax armada led by the Emperor himself, and the alien weapon has disappeared. With their forces stretched to the breaking point and their options few, it's now up to an unorthodox Terran Captain, an eccentric scientist, his autonomous protector, a talented spy, and a mysterious young woman, to recover the alien device and save the worlds of the Federation from the rampages of a mad, marauding Zrax warlord. And time is running out.
