Mercy Hail and Dante Matter fly alone through the light years, desperately seeking hope for victory in the war. The last vestige of the old order of genetically engineered telepathic peacekeepers is out there somewhere. Without them, the human race might never again be free.

Raysen Pilak and Hal Sable stand guard over the captured tyrant of the Archon Dominion, ready to put her on trial for crimes against humanity. But holding a mind controlling telepath is harder than anyone expected.

The Exile War has raged between the stars for more than a decade, and both sides are ready to risk everything to win. The Free Worlds and the Archon Dominion are locked on a collision course that can have only one end. The last battle for the freedom of Earth is bearing down like a freight train, and no one will escape unscathed.
