Gavin and his crew have left the borders of the human hegemony and are on their way to Sol to stop the dawning catastrophe.
But their allies have their own plans, and when the inevitable conflict between the conflicting forces occurs in Earth's orbit, Janus must decide where his loyalties lie. The enemy has long planned for this war to unfold, and Fleet Admiral Marquandt's connections reach into the deepest recesses of the Human Empire.
Can he be stopped? And at what cost? Gavin and Janus are determined to find out—even if it's the hard way.
This is the final book of the first trilogy of The Last Fleet series.
