Summary
Planet by planet, galaxy by galaxy, the
inhabited universe has fallen to the alien Xul. Now only one
obstacle stands between them and total domination: the warriors
of a resilient race the world-devourers nearly annihilated
centuries ago . . . A power vast, ancient, and terrifying, the
mighty Xul have lost track of the insignificant humans hundreds
of years after devastating their home world—which has
enabled the United Star Marines to operate unnoticed and
unhindered. A near-autonomous intergalactic policing force,
they battle in defense of an Earth they may not live to see
again. Now, following the trail of a vanished
twenty-fourth-century transport, they are journeying through an
unexplored stargate to the edge of an unknown galaxy many light
years from their sun. For the last, best, and only chance to
defeat the tyrants of the universe may at long last be at hand
. . .
