In this fast-paced novel, Capt JT Buckton takes his warship Pegasus into the EQ (Epsilon Quadrant). They are to be the first from the Alliance of Planets to ever venture there.
In this novel you will find they discover two distinct civilizations at war with one another and very unintentionally Capt Buckton and crew become involved and get mired in a mess. On top of that Pegasus is the prize one of the civilizations is after.
Plans are made and then changed! More plans are made and they prove to be as worthless as the first ones. This whole venture seems to be nothing more than a meaningless escapade in futility.
Back home duty calls! Pegasus is recalled after the Alliance's President, Vice-President and several cabinet ministers are kidnapped. They are to help put down a rebellion, but run into a "wall" of enemy warships! The action is relentless and nonstop.
