Dick Seaton stares across the command bridge at his greatest enemy, Marc DuQuesne. These two scientists have waged war across star systems, their hatred reshaping the fate of countless worlds. But now something worse than their rivalry threatens everything. Alien hordes pour through space from beyond the galaxy, their destination clear: humanity's complete destruction. Seaton and DuQuesne forge an uneasy partnership, combining their scientific genius and military might against the invaders. They fight together in desperate battles among the stars, but Seaton never lets his guard down. He knows DuQuesne's nature too well. Even as they defend civilization side by side, Seaton watches for the moment his ally will strike. The question isn't whether DuQuesne will betray him, but when.
