Finally able to depart on the voyage for which he's planned for his entire life, Captain Jacob Brinn, the genius who has fought the whole world to a standstill, takes his war for humanity's future to a whole new level. Using his voyage to decoy the enemy forces, he literally sails into legend. There, even the Captain's incredible technologies can barely hold off the dangers, and the losses among the Argonauts are heavy.

Meanwhile, the team he's left behind go about setting up a worldwide network of covert installations. Once completed, these will allow the Captain to hold the whole world hostage. A threat that Captain Brinn demonstrates as he unleashes his fury against the Chinese—a fury that the leaders of the most powerful nations on earth can do nothing but watch in panicked impotence.

Finally, the actions of the world's leaders force the Captain's recall. But first, he launches a devastating ground strike to obtain the resources he needs. Then, he moves to break the back of the only force in the human universe that can stand up to him.

But, the final battle for humanity's future isn't going to be decided by the starships of the United Space Force nor by Brinn's incredible futuristic weapons. No, it takes the brilliance of the traitorous cyber-genius Ajax to tip the balance.

When an author sets out to do a trilogy, or a series, he or she makes a promise to the readers, that, no matter how good the first volume is, it will only get better. Schrader has kept that promise, in spades.
