Against all odds, four friends have advanced the sciences, influenced world media, and created a world government. But the aliens are coming. Will it be enough? Can Nick, David, Cindy, and Jake save the Earth, or will they be wiped out with the rest of humanity? It will take a colony ship, battlecruisers, a mission to Mars, exosuits, and casinos on the moon. They have all looked toward the future since they were 16 years old.... But the future is now.

Thibodaux James Renwalt, or Tibby as he was called by his friends, was just your typical Earthman. Recently discharged from his service in the United Stated Navy and working as an engineer for the city of New Orleans, maintaining the pumps that kept the city dry. Tibby decides to spend some time at a fishing hole in the swamp shown to him by his grandfather when he was a small boy.

A powerful new threat forces the Alliance to abandon Earth. They leave a small force behind, praying it will be enough to protect humanity from enslavement - or worse, extinction. Meanwhile, the fleet splits into separate missions, each of them vital in rebuilding Earth Alliance forces. A galaxy-shaking conflict is taking shape, with Earth in the eye of the storm. Everything depends on Chase, Chris, Sarah, Daniel, and the other heroes of the Earth Alliance fleet. The stakes have never been higher.
