Book Summary

The story begins with [[Phillip Agustus|Phillip], leader of the Crassians putting his personal puppet, the Varnok prophet to work turning yet another of The Nine Ancient Races against Earth in a bid to destroy all humans in Sol sector. This time, however, he's sending the Tragarians. Back on Earth, Grand Admiral Mike Clayton is still busy, even two years later, trying to put Earthfleet back together and strengthen its forces after the heavy losses they suffered at The Battle of the Oort Perimeter. Chancelor Nordham meanwhile is busy with the daily duties of keeping the Society Colonies in top shape while Eric works to tweak and fine tune the Sergenious, and Pendleton is busy trying to prove his superior piloting skills in a star race. The rest of Eric's crew are instead spending time partaking in a well deserved vacation planetside on Earth.

However, in the midst of all this, a message comes in from the UGW inviting Nordham, Mike and their respective escorts, to a diplomatic meeting on Sebius. However, given recent events, they are justifiably suspicious of this and contact Ambassador Phyland asking that he validate the request. He and V'sin then take the request before the UGW Chancellor and validate its claims, after which they report this back to Earth. Upon hearing this, not only does Earthfleet and the Society start preparing for the journey out to Sebius, but so does the Fleet Intelligence director by assigning Lars Nordic and his partner Vladimir Umnov to secretly join the diplomatic mission in hopes that they might be able to search through Sebius for clues to the identify of the people or organization that has been working secretly behind the scenes to destroy Earth and all humans. After making final preparations, the fleet of Earthfleet Shipkillers that is assigned to the trip to Sebius, forms up, and then slips out into the space beyond the Oort Perimeter and meets up with Admiral Sevok, who then begins to escort them to Sebius while Black Claw and his secretive fleet of Tragarian battleships.
