The intricate and action-packed sequel to "New York Times" best-seller and master tale-spinner Eric Flint and K.D. Wentworth s ground-breaking "Course of Empire."
Humanity is first subjugated by haughty alien colonizers calling themselves the Jao when Earth is unexpectedly attacked by the implacable and nearly-unstoppable Ekhat, exterminators of all intelligent life not their own. Now the fragile Human-Jao alliance is put to the test. A devastating encounter with the Ekhat in a distant nebula reveals a powerful alien society that may hold the key to defeating the Ekhat once and for all. There s one big problem: they utterly loathe humanity's ally, the Jao. And why shouldn t they? It was the Jao who drove them into hiding in the first place. Once again, everything depends on those innovators and idea-generators, the humans, to quell a brewing war and forge a tripartite alliance of very different species or be blasted to empty cinders if they don t succeed.
