A century-and-a-half after the Martian Separatist Wars, and the final defeatof insane terrorist leader El Ahmi, Alexander Moore returns to the stars withthe Sienna Madira, a United States Navy supercarrier spacecraft outfittedwith advanced FTL and endlessly strange, extremely effective, quantum-basedweapons and remote sensing technology. And, of course, he's brought Marines,and lots of them. These are troops superbly trained for space battle, andequipped with advanced powered armor and artificial intelligence backup. Moore'stask: hunt down remnant weaponry platforms left by the brilliant, mad artificialintelligence known as Copernicus, the being ultimately responsible for the SolarSystem wide civil war. Yet Moore is about to uncover something far moresinister: before his destruction, Copernicus had established multiplemecha-warrior defended bases with the intent of resuming the destruction ofhumanity. Worse, an a.i. presence even more dangerous, evil, and clever thanCopernicus may have formed an alliance with something else out there with asimilar goal: wipe humanity from the galaxy forever!
