The fight for the galaxy has just begun

A crumbling empire.
A galactic crusade.
Humanity rising to power.
Hidden enemies waiting to strike.

Eight years have passed since the Builders and the Dark Ones left the galaxy. In that time, Jon Pike has scored successive victories against the Juttari. Once he drives them out of Diakan space, his forces will be poised to finally strike at the heart of the ruthless Juttari Empire.

But, an unseen power is emerging from the shadows, threatening to destroy all of Jon Pike's progress and plunge humanity into a new galactic war. Old enemies also continue to pose a deadly threat to the Admiral. Can Jon Pike avoid disaster for himself, humanity and the galaxy?
