The battle of Ganymede taught Jason Wander about the devastation of war. After seeing the deaths of his troops as well as his lover, this battle-scarred soldier is ready for peace.
At twenty-five, General Jason Wander has fought and won man’s only alien conflict. Now, after long years in space, he’s coming home … but to what? Earth’s desperate nations, impoverished by war damage and military spending, are slashing defence budgets. There’s just one problem with this new worldwide policy: the first alien invasion was merely Plan A.
Suddenly, the real assault begins: Earth is attached by a vast armada of city-sized warships. To block their invasion, mankind has only one surviving craft and a single guerrilla strike force: a suicide squad led by Jason Wander.
