Lieutenant Colonel Myles Webb of the American Federated States Space Marines is once again caught between his loyalty to the AFS and the trust the aliens have placed upon him, but this time the stakes are higher. Since he is the only person that has full access to the Hee'Umana who now call Mars home, he alone knows of the danger humanity faces in the near future. But since he dares not betray the aliens trust, he must also balance his responsibilities of being an AFS Space Marine and his role as Earth's Ambassador. He alone knows why the aliens are in a hurry to increase their numbers and military strength. So now he must pressure all governments on Earth to enact the construction of a Terran Battle Fleet and the fortifying of the Solar System without exposing what he knows. Lieutenant Colonel Myles Webb may not know the full details of this unknown menace, but it is something that even frightens their current visitors to the Solar System. The Hee'Umana is an alien race that knows all about war and is harden to face the unknown. Which Lt. Colonel Webb must ask why are they so preoccupied with this unforeseen force? He may not have all the answers, but he is determined to find them no matter where they take him. If Earth and humanity alike are in grave danger, he will do everything in his power to protect all that he cherishes.
