Publisher's Synopsis
The War has raged for over four hundred years. The Yoshini Empire is vast, ruling much of the galaxy. Over four centuries humanity has stood defiant, pushing their enemy back from Home System Terra.
Unity Commodore Stott Yarborough travels to the rally point where his forces will join those of Grand Admiral Bijan "the Dark Star" Yasim and the Iranian Republican Guards for Operation Caliban.
"God grant me the Serenity to accept
the vagaries of War
Courage to face my fear sufficient
to destroy Thine enemies
And the Wisdom to know that Victory
does not come without cost."
The Orduz teis Coaliciones, the erstwhile technomages of humanity, foresee a danger never perceived before. In preparation, they have emplaced the dread Hellfire Weapon.
A weapon of such power that it could destroy entire star systems, a weapon that has never been allowed to enter the War.
To Orduz Speaker Anais O'Reillon will fall the duty. To her is given the Authority to control the Weapon.
From Yarborough will the true source of the Unity's power be revealed as they lead their allies to victory. Aided by the Forge Master's Mechaniques and Speaker Anais they will see true victory won.
Yet this is only one vast battle in the War that never ends. This is the place where the sacred prayer of the Unity is spoken for War is our Mother, and Battle is Her Home.
