The prisoner. Mona Lisa O'Neil has a problem. She's in prison for crimes committed against the people with her gangster boyfriend. When she turned evidence against him, he tried to have her killed. Twice. Now he's threatening to blow up the Dipole Shield and kill 50 million people on Mars, unless they turn her over to him.

They framed him for a crime he didn't commit. And four long years later, he's out for revenge. Danny Gumbo knew the system was rotten. He just didn't know how rotten until they framed him for murder. Four long years spent thinking about revenge. Planning on what he would do if he ever got free. And when he did, how he would make them pay.

He had a second to look behind him at the villagers that surrounded the base of the rise. Whatever was in the cave was worth dying for, he thought. His First had been right. Hundreds of bodies were around him, men, women, even children. All dead to stop his Troop from reaching the cave. He was the only one left. He dropped the empty pistol and drew his sword. They would kill him, he knew. He wasn't afraid to die. It was drilled in them from the beginning. It wasn't death that mattered, only how many enemies you could take with you. And he planned to take them all.

Today is a good day to die. Seven men, bound by virtue, vow to hold the line in a narrow mountain pass. The Immortals, 10,000 strong, threaten to overwhelm them. It's a delaying tactic, just to buy time for the bulk of the army to get clear and escape. But the Sultan didn't expect the Templars to be so fierce. He's going to win the battle, but at what cost. Seven men stand against a tidal wave of humanity, the last hope in a holy war.
