On the planet Armista sits a nameless woman. High upon a mountain she is cradling a weapon unlike anything the Armistans have ever seen. She rocks back and forth on her hauches, singing softly to herself. The weapon is her only company on the planet, since everyone else is little piles of ash. A weapon that could destroy life on one planet could do it again.
Lt. Robin Leffer's mother died in a shuttle explosion ten years ago. So is the woman being held prisoner in Thallonian space really Robin's mother? If so, what is her connection to the mysterious woman holding a weapon that could doom entire worlds?
With the lives of billions at stake, Robin Lefler, Captain Calhoun and the crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur must find the answers before time runs out for them..and for the struggling remants of the once great Thollonion Empire.
