Publisher's Synopsis
In the year 2092, the Lunarians think they are secure on their airless world. They're wrong.
Senior Analyst Lazarus Sheffield defects and flees Earth to warn them of the danger. Every step of the way, he is haunted by the words he found in a cryptic transmission; Allah's cleansing fire.
Captain Lindsey Marquest senses something amiss with the man sitting next to her on the outbound Stratoliner. She brings him to the attention of Councilor Abigail Dugan, a powerful voice within the Republic.
The very day Lazarus arrives on Luna, a terrorist bomb explodes in a Lunarian hospital killing hundreds. While they were still cleaning up the mess, the strange crash of a cislunar freighter far out on the Sea of Clouds draws the attention of the North American Federation, the Islamic Brotherhood and the Republic of Luna. They all race to be first on the scene.
The Republic of Luna sends Quan Kiai, a company of young police officers. Lazarus and Lindsey accompany them in support. What happens next sets in motion humanity's first interplanetary war, the Shadow War.
