The long conflict between humanity and the Kreoch Empire is over. Humanity has won. The Fleet is victorious. Everything has changed. Kent McLennan commands the Fleet ship Meritorious on a mission to accept the Kreoch surrender. But the Kreoch are not taking defeat so easily.
Twenty years ago the greatest hero that the Fleet had ever known, Jack Church, was killed by a misguided assassin. Jack Church's tactical genius was an integral part of the eventual downfall of the Kreoch. If Jack Church had never existed, how different would the outcome have been? What if his tactical knowledge could be used to serve the enemy?
What if the Kreoch found a way to turn their defeat into an ultimate victory?
