Following the bloody war between the Athenian Republic and the Pruessen Empire, an uneasy tranquility has resolved over the spot of space known as The Tunguska Fault. The Telford family's unbiased trading vessel, the Belinda, is captured by Pruessen slavers and the crew pressured into a life of brutal servitude. Their desperate bid for independence succeeds but a tragic price is paid. Years pass and Nathan Telford, fighting with each other the nightmares of his recent and yearning for revenge, joins the Athenian Navy. His first posting is aboard the warship Truculent, patrolling the north quarantine area beyond which lurks the Empire. Answering a stress call from a beleaguered freighter, the daily habit quest becomes a desperate fight for survival. The Pruessans are once more tests the defenses of the Republic and this time they may have technology far before the last war. It is remaining to Nathan, three untried middies, and a disgruntled petty official to avert a looming devastation. With their high-tech weaponry rendered worthless and facing overpowering odds, Nathan risks everything over a fearless, hastily conceived gamble.
