With the Axichis invasion turning against the Elian m=Military and the Hellhounds caught in the middle, Captain Owen LeMaine and his squad of Special Forces badasses will have to take it home to the place where the adventure first started. The Axichis are bringing in more ships than the Elian-Imoliv alliance can possibly defeat. The Hellhounds try to launch a knockout strike against the Axichis staging area on the planet Ziea. So how can such a tiny squad defeat the whole invasion force?

LeMaine needs a bigger army to tip the advantage in his favor. Fortunately, there are thousands of native Maczhi already on the planet. They're they're loyal Elian citizens and also under threat from the invasion. They have every reason to fight back . Too bad they're weak, pacifistic, and incapable of even holding a weapon, much less fighting back. They'll all get killed if they go into battle against an enemy as dangerous as the Axichis. Can the Hellhounds find a way to swing these people to their side and win the war after all?
