Major Scott St. Andrew has served on both sides of the war between the mighty Terran Alliance and the colonial forces of the Seventeen Worlds -- abandoning the tyrannical former to fight for the latter's noble cause. Genetically enhanced by a strange alien technology that has made him an indomitable weapon -- while slowly destroying him -- he is one of the few to escape an Alliance surprise attack on the colonists' capital world, fleeing the bloodbath for the harsh moon of Exeter where his transformation began . . . and where possible salvation awaits. But a traitor in the rebels' midst has turned the tide in this brutal war, leaving St. Andrew with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, and ultimately placing him in enemy chains. And with time running out, he must make one final, fatal choice: to save the woman he loves . . . or the worlds he is sworn to protect.
