The fourth and final book in The Galactic Cold War series sees Simon Kovalic and his crew on another life threatening adventure. On the heels of the terrorist attacks on the planet Nova's capital, the Special Projects Team finds itself targeted by the ambitious new head of the Commonwealth Intelligence Directorate, Aidan Kester. When Kovalic and General Adaj are arrested on charges of treason, Tapper, Brody, Sayers, and Taylor are forced to go on the run. While Kovalic and the general attempt to uncover an Illyrican mole within the Commonwealth's intelligence apparatus, it's up to the rest of the team to clear their friends' names, even if that means making a deal with an old enemy to carry out a daring heist that might just get them all killed.
