Publisher's Synopsis
A border dispute becomes a full-scale invasion as the Terran Republic encounters the Verendi Empire, with tragic results. As the Verendi cut a swath across the Orion Spur, three generations of the Powers Family are called to serve Earth and her worlds in a vain attempt to keep the Verendi from reaching the Solar System. Serving as fighter pilots, Captains, Marines, Admirals, and Operatives, the family prepares to sacrifice all in that effort.
