Humanity is now thrown into a bloody civil war fought on one side by the central government of the Terran Orbitals and the self-appointed Human-Alien Alliance, a new organization with a mysterious origin and agenda. Kal Wardin left the N.O.V.A. troops of the Terran Orbitals years ago and now lives on the desert planet of Scorpius, among the villagers of that colony.
But war never spares even the most peaceful places.
