The enemy crouches at the door, seeking to devour.
Major General David Cohen must accept the truth. It's only a matter of time before the nanite swarm obliterates all life in the galaxy. With irrefutable evidence of the swarm's devastation, David convinces twin alien worlds to join the Terran Coalition in exchange for technology that might save them.

Master Chief Rebecca Tinetariro is charged with molding lifelong, bitter enemies into comrades in arms to fight for their collective survival.
But her efforts appear hopeless.

But the hubris of first contact with alien worlds has finally caught up with him, and intervention to save souls from a crushing regime demands a heavy price for justice.
Because the Lion has met its match.
