Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Five years after the Ephialtes incident, two worlds teeter on the brink of the abyss. On Earth, civil unrest pushes the USAN towards a second strike at Mars. On Mars, divided loyalties threaten the entire independence project. A shocking act of violence triggers a desperate scramble for supremacy. Pressure is building. Peace is crumbling. Fear is mounting.

The peace delivered in the wake of the Ephialtes incident is more fragile than many suppose. The USAN’s rearmament program continues apace, hindered only by the harsh economic realities imposed by the Martian deuterium embargo.

On Mars, Askel and Bobby have to come to terms with an uncertain future while Foveaux and Kostovich brace themselves for the crisis they dread but know is coming.

When a brutal incursion sends two planets careening towards conflict there is nowhere left to hide. The cold war between Earth and Mars is about to get hot, and there can only be one winner.
