Book excerpt: The Kilrathi Empire is in a bind. For the last five years they have been constructing a secret fleet so powerful that it will slice straight through to Earth and destroy the Confederation. There is a problem, however: the Confederation has become increasingly successful with its behind-the-lines raids and the Prince fears that before the new fleet is ready, the Empire will be on the ropes. At a Kilrathi council of war a simple solution is agreed upon: sure for peace, lull the humans into disarming and then when all is ready, launch a surprise offensive.

Admiral Tolwyn and his veterans must fight a delaying action, buying time with their lives for humanity to make ready for the final battle… At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
