The 142nd Starborne defied orders to save a world. Now they must keep order in a galaxy falling apart.


In the wake of Earth's destruction and the collapse of the Sway government, the colony worlds are left to fend for themselves.

As the last surviving Colossus-class ship, it falls to the Behemoth to keep the peace. In the case of the planet Cameroon, that mission becomes quite literal in a three-sided battle for control of the colony. The struggle between the remnants of the colony's government, the workers, and a religion that worships Dracula threatens to rip their society apart. Innocents are caught in the crossfire.

No side in the conflict is looking out for the good of the people or the colony. Major Hans Benedict and the 142nd Starborne are about to find out that following orders is much simpler than deciding what to do when lesser evils abound.
