Book description
After hundreds of years secretly manipulating the human race, the
Starflyer alien has succeeded in engineering a war which should result
in the destruction of the Intersolar Commonwealth. Now, thanks to Chief
Investigator Paula Myo, the Commonwealth's political elite finally
acknowledges the Starflyer's existence, and puts together an unlikely
partnership to track down this enigmatic and terrifying alien. The
invasion from Dyson Alpha continues with dozens of Commonwealth worlds
falling to the enemy. The navy fights back with what it believes to be
war-winning superweapons, only to find that the alien fleet has equally
powerful weapons. How the aliens got them is the question which haunts
Admiral Kime. Could it be that the Commonwealth's top-secret defence
project has been compromised by the Starflyer's agents, or is the truth
even worse?
