The unthinkable has happened: An Akkadian assassin has helped broker peace between her star nation and the Alliance.
Micah Case and Task Force Blue watch the peace talks with guarded optimism - but they know one thing the rest of the settled worlds don't: Clint Janus has vanished with the Alliance's most closely held secret. And Micah Case holds the key.
Janus is now allied with Akkadia's new premier, Asher Dent, and the man is not as peace-loving as he might seem. It's going to be up to Micah Case and Task Force Blue to prevent Dent from achieving that which he wants most: total space supremacy over all the settled worlds.
Includes Operation Cobalt, a bonus novella from the Biogenesis Wars series.
